Angus (Forfarshire) / George Hampton born 1804 forfarshire, looking for birthplace
« on: Sunday 23 May 21 19:32 BST (UK) »
Hello there,
I’m looking for the birthplace of my great great great grandfather George Hampton, born in 1804, from census records,in forfarshire. He became a stonemason and by 1840 he had moved to Stockton on Tees in the north east of England, where he married a Maria Alderson (in 1840). His marriage certificate states his father was John Hampton and he was a gardener.
George died in 1876 in Stockton, aged 72.
The only George I can find born in 1804 in forfarshire was born in Maryton of Montrose, but he lived and died in Scotland so it isn’t the right one.
I found a George born in 1804 in Fettercairn which is in Kincardineshire but on the border of forfarshire. His parents were John Hampton and May Cowieson. There isn’t any information about this George other than his birth so I’ve no proof it’s the right George.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
