Rhamper,
You have to ignore the fact that they say they are only viewable at a family history centre.  If you register on the site you can see those records.  Sometimes the same message is displayed on their site for other records and you can't see them from home.

Forgot that, sorry, I seem to be permanently logged in, but as far as I know you can still register for a free account - I certainly don't pay anything.

Found records of two Henry Hamper baptisms

HH bapt in Street, 28 May 1801 s/o Henry and Jane Hamper
and HH bapt in Westmeston 22 Oct 1797 s/o John and Amy Hamper

The one born in Street seems to be in Ramsgate Kent in 1851, he is a widower and living with him is unmarried sister in law Frances Ann Baldock b Canterbury, Kent, so unless he married a second time to a Miss Baldock, possibly also of Canterbury, he is probably ruled out, but due to his parentage a possible brother to the George H of Street who married in Westmeston.

What did your HH call his children? that can sometimes give a clue as to parents.

Yes, make use of those Sussex images on Family Search while you can!
As Lizzie said, registering is free.
We've already lost access to East Sussex parish registers at home. BT's still available at the moment.

1841 census Westmeston
Lydia Hamper 40
Henry 13
Amy 11
William  7

Possibly Lydia nee Juniper and children. Status not recorded in 1841, so don't know if she was widowed or Henry away from home on census night. No occupation given for Lydia.

baptisms in Westmeston - children of Henry and Lydia
Henry 14 may 1826
John 15 June 1828
Emma 8 Aug 1830
William 15 Sept 1833

judging from Emma's age, I think she may be the one listed as Amy in 1841

Maybe connected
John Hamper married Sarah Sharp botp (no status given) by banns on 25 Dec 1832
wit Richard Hamper and Mary Hamper

baptisms in 1833
Elizabeth d/o Richard and Mary Hamper 23 June
and
Harriott d/o John and Sarah 10 Nov

Henry Hamper buried 2 June 1837 age 39 - just a few weeks before civil registration started. So born about 1798, more evidence that he is the one bapt in Westmeston s/o John and Amy

3 Apr 1795, John Hamper married Amy Miles botp at Westmeston

[LizzieL]

27 Sep 1801 baptism of George s/o John and Amy Hamper at Westmeston. He matches with a George on various censuses with wife Mary Jane so looks like he was this Henry's brother and not the HH born in Street.
