Surnames: HAMPSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VUh.2ACIB/118 Message Board Post: Hi My paternal grandfather was Nathan Hampson probably born in the early 1900s - he married my grandmother Phyllis and they had 2 children John Hampson (born around 1932) my father and Arthur Hampson who still lives in Chorley, Lanc. He left my grandmother and she told her sons he was dead - my father had someone tell him as a young man that his father was not dead and pointed him out in a bar. He apparently had a defacto wife and other children - but this was all a family secret. Keen to know a little more about my heritage and this man - so my kids will know the history of their name and heritage. My direct email address is ralph@rootprojects.com.au Cheers Ralph
