I would love to hear from anyone with ties to the Northampton family of Thomas HEMMINGS (1816-1892) and Sarah MANNING (1820-1904).
Thomas was the eldest son of John HEMMINGS (1792-1841) and Sarah TAYLOR (1794-1869) who ran The Boot Inn on College Street in Northampton for 30 years (see later thread on The Boot); and Sarah was the daughter of James MANNING (1787-1862) and Susanna MASON (1789-1859).
Thomas & Sarah ran the Hemmings Bakers and Confectioners business (locations at 14 Regent Square, 28 Abington Street, and 7 George Row) that was founded in 1838 and was still operating in the late 1920s under the management of their children. In particular, I would be very interested to make contact with descendants of Thomas & Sarah's children (there were 13!):
Mary Ann Hemmings (1845-aft1924), m. HIGGINS;
William Thomas Hemmings (1849-1914), m. (i) Mary Elizabeth PEARSON, (ii) Magdalena Elizabeth STEINBACH;
Sarah Louisa Hemmings (1851-aft1928), m. Alfred William WARREN;
Frances John Hemmings (1856-1888), m. Charlotte HOLLAND;
Herbert Edward Hemmings (1859-1932), m. Clara Ann DANIEL;
Kate Emma Hemmings (1862-aft1928), m. John Helms PRUE;
Walter George Hemmings (1864-1947), m. Gwendoline Clara GOULD.
I have the family extensively researched and would be pleased to share information with other descendants and to learn more about the family in the hundred year Northampton period, 1830-1930.
Thanks, rthom

Hi Sandy: 
Your offer is more than kind. If you happen to have a camera with you when you are next in the area that would be great. But please don't go out of your way on my account. I forgot to add in the first posting that the earlier shop (up to the mid-1860s) was at 14 Regent Square.
Regards, rthom

George THOMPSON married Ann HEMMINGS 18 Oct 1779 at Brackley. Witnesses were James WALTER and Nathaniel BLENCOWE. Ann lived in the parish of Brackley at that time. An Ann THOMPSON was buried 13 Aug 1810 at Brackley.
Unfortunately that is all I know about HEMMINGS. If you are able to add anything I would be delighted to hear from you. In any event you may like to file the data in case it fits in as your research progresses.

Hi mkt:
Thanks for the info. But I'm afraid I cannot place this Ann Hemmings anywhere in my family tree at the present time.
From the late 1600s to early 1800s my line lived in Mollington, Great Bourton, Cropredy, Moreton Pinkney, Sulgrave, Greens Norton, and Towcester before ending up in Northampton in the 1830s. But it is quite possible one of the cousin branches moved to Brackley, not that far away. I will keep you posted if anything turns up.
Regards, rthom
