Hampton Bank
« on: Wednesday 11 February 15 14:07 GMT (UK) »
I'm new to Shropshire, and hope that someone will be able to give me a bit of direction with the local geography, please.
I have two family members who gave their birth place on the census returns as Hampton Bank.  The only place I can find that looks like it might be relevant is Hampton Loade.  Does anyone know if this is the same place, please.  If it is, would you be able to suggest the most likely place that they might have gone for christenings - IGI don't have anything under Hampton, and I really don't know what's close by.  Many thanks ;)

Certainly - they were Caroline Lewis, born c 1842 and Sarah Jane Lewis born c. 1832
Both were daughters of William and sarah Lewis [William was a canal worker, I believe]
Many thanks for the speedy response!
