I'm looking for information on her parents and ancestors along with siblings, one of whom I know to have been Francine Hampson who married Apsley BOULDING. Laura married my grandfather, George Stainton TELFORD, in 1890, when she was 25, and they lived in NYC until she died in 1906 from the dropsy. She's buried in Kensico Cem. in New York State. My grandfather and my father's sister, Ethel, ended up in PA in the Philadelphia area, and it seems as though there might have been a family reason for moving from NYC to PA. If you have any information on the William HAMPSON born 1851 that might link to my own HAMPSON family, I would appreciate hearing from you. Bob Telford, Long Beach, CA
