Hi Jane,
My grandfather was William as was my father. I would like to talk to you more directly but not sure how to do that yet. I have a photograph of my great grandfather George with I think your father aged about 15. Look forward to hearing more from you
Linda

Jane,
Peter Murray was my father's cousin, his mother Annie and my grandfather were brother and sister, my father talked about the time before he went to America many years ago when I first started to ask about the family history. If I can help with more information please let me know
Linda

hello,
I have been researching the Hamstead family tree for many years. My GG grandfather was Joseph Escott born in treworthal in cornwall about 1828. The family story is that he joined the army and was posted to Ireland. In 1850 he married Anne Morris in Ireland. At some point after the marriage he was said to have deserted from the army and made his way over to England with his wife and possibly one or two children we think via Liverpool, Ashton under Lyne and making their way down to parkgate in Rotherham where they settled, finding work in the Steel Works. Several
children continued to be registered as Escots but in 1866 I found a daughter Eliza registered as hampstead, although they were all Hampstead in the census returns from 1861 onwards. Hope this helps
