Lancashire / Thomas Hampson
« on: Friday 02 January 09 23:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
        I am looking for my Hampson relatives. Mary Jane was born circa 1817 in Manchester. She married Thomas Walter Pike in 1838. On their marriage certificate it gives Mary's father as a Thomas Hampson a manufacturer. I found him in Piggott's directory of Manchester for 1841 he was nankeen and fustian maker. This makes sense as Thomas Walters father was a draper no doubt that is how he met Mary Jane I would guess.

  The actual entry in Piggott's reads
      Hampson Thomas, nankeen, fustian, &c, manufacturer, Radcliffe
  Does anyone know if the italics for Radcliffe would mean this is his place of origin?
 
Also I cant find him on the 1841 Census. I guess since Mary Jane must have been born circa 1817 he must have been born circa 1795 or there abouts. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards
Alan

Hi I am looking for a Joseph Horrocks who  tmarried a Letitia Hackett in Oldham. Threy married in 1884 I think. Josephs profession is given as a chemist
on one of his sons marriage certificates. I think Letitia may have been Irish but not sure where Joseph was from.

Westmeath / Margaret Gregan
« on: Wednesday 21 November 07 21:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
     I am looking for a Margaret Gregan born in Westmeath in 1812. I know no more of the Gregan Family except there was a Richard Gregan too.. Margaret married a William Coghlan and spent her life in Manchester dying in a Workhouse in 1885. Does anyone have any connections with the Gregan Family of Westmeath. Can find no marriage for Margaret.

Thanks
Alan

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Arthur Fisher (Burton on Trent)
« on: Tuesday 20 November 07 18:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
    I am looking for Arthur Fisher born according to the 1881 Census in Burton on Trent. He married in Manchester in 1873 his age is given as 19 a Laborer. His father according to Arthur's marriage details was James Fisher a Copper Smith. I was hoping some kind person out there in Staffordshireland would find his family in the Burton Parish Registers for me. The IGI gives his christening as the 20th January 1856 in Burton on Trent and his mums name as Sarah ?????

Best Regards
Alan :)
