Thanks Jackie.  That's interesting as one of William's sons is Timothy & I wondered where that came from.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your help. :)

I thought it would be helpful to clarify that I have 6 siblings for William (Diana, John, Elizabeth, Matilda, another John and possibly Joseph).  I have done a bit of research on each of them to see if I can find anything helpful (extended family visiting at census time, neighbours, witnesses on marriages), but I haven't found anything so far.  Not that there is nothing there - a fresh set of eyes is always helpful. :)

I would like to know others thoughts on the marriage of John Hampton / Honour Bridge and the lack of any children (that I can find) between 1804 and 1810?  (Joseph - the possible son was buried in 1808).  Is there a gap in the available records between this time?

Thanks again for the helpful posts Jackie & Maddy. :)

Worcestershire / William Hampton, Dudley b. 1822
« on: Thursday 06 July 17 05:28 BST (UK)  »

I am hoping someone with better access to records (I'm in Australia) can help me find a marriage (and anything else) for the parents of William Hampton (b. Dudley, 1822, d. 1892 Upton on Severn).  I know quite a lot about William and his descendants, but am struggling to get any further back than the names of his parents (and some siblings).

Here is what I do know about them:

  * William's marriage certificate (to Eliza Price) in 1838 states his father is John Hampton, Nailer.  As
  it doesn't say John is deceased, I assume he is still alive at that time.

  * On the 1841 census, William is in Tower St, Dudley.  His mother, Honor, is shown as the Head, so I
  assume that his father John has died between 1838 and the time of the census.

  * Honor(a) Hampton appears once more in the 1851 census, giving her birthplace as Rowley,
  Staffordshire around 1781.  She dies in Jan 1854 - I have seen a copy of her death registration.

If anyone can help locate John Hampton & Honor's marriage and Honor's maiden name, it would be much appreciated. 

Others doing the same research have her as Honour Bridge, marrying John Hampton, 1804 in Kingswinford.  I find it hard to wrap my head around this, as neither of them were from there (as far as I know), and I can't find any births to John & Honour before 1810 (which is long gap).

Any and all help is appreciated.

Australia / Re: What happened to Thomas ?
« on: Friday 19 May 17 06:58 BST (UK)  »
There was a Thomas Usher arrived in Port Adelaide 24 Jan 1860 aboard the Phoebe Dunbar.  Not sure where (or if) you might find more information on the passengers.

On another note that may or may not help - I had an elusive ancestor who was also a blacksmith.  When I finally located him, I found that he moved around following the gold-rush as blacksmiths were in high demand in the gold-rush towns and he did a bit of prospecting on the side.  Kooringa was a mining town, which might just be a coincidence.

Australia / Re: Thomas SIMMONS of Bathurst (O'Connell) 1835-1891.

Looks like Wivenhoe may have solved your mystery.  There was a George and Catherine Draper with son Thomas arriving on the Earl Grey in June 1841.  The age fits for your Thomas.

Source are the Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1828-1896 from State Records NSW.

Thanks in advance

Europe / German Military Service WW2 - Kunkel
« on: Thursday 07 May 15 04:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi.  I was hoping someone could give me some more info on the military service on the attached picture.  Especially if anyone can confirm if "p.w" means "prisoner of war" or "post war" and what the initials after it may stand for?

Thanks in advance. :)
