Great grandfather John Hampson was born 1825 or 1826 at Hooley Hill, Ashton Under Lyne. He married Hannah Bardsley around 1850, they had a son Jonas born 1851 at Hooley Hill. They came to America in 1852. Kentucky then to St. Louis around 1860. Died in St. Louis around 1900. We think John's parents may have been Ralph and Margaret(Tomlinson)Hampson. Would like to find out if there were any brothers or sisters. Or any living descendants. Any help is greatly appreciated.
