George had a sugar cane farm in Nth. QLD. They eventually moved to NSW where the climate was more suitable for Minnie. They had three children, 1 boy and 2 girls. Minnie was 1 of 13 children. Her parents are James Hampson and Mary (nee Darbyshire). I think the Hampson family eventually moved to Rochdale, but I don't know when. Mention made of sisters Emily, Daisy and Florence and brothers Reg and Jim. Before marriage, I believe that Minnie worked at Brisbane Hospital. Are we related? Your information is surprisingly similar to my family history! Hope to hear from you!
