Parents were James Hampson and Mary (Darbyshire of Sale,Cheshire). I understand that the family may have eventually moved to Rochdale. He is an elder brother to my grandmother, Minnie Hampson (b.1898), who emigrated to Australia and married George Vaun in 1926. James is 1 of 13 children, others are Mary Ellen (b.1888), William (b.1890), Emily (b.1891), Florence (b.1895),Mary Ann (b.1897) and Ada (b.1900). Other names known but not verified are Daisy and Reg. I believe that a sister and a brother emigrated to the USA. Hope to hear from you!
