« on: Friday 23 April 10 23:10 BST (UK) »Robert Owen Hampson married Susan Garret (nee Hinman). Susan left Robert and moved in with her sister and brother-in-law. The brother-in-law was a Cawley. She lived with them for 10 years with her children, and her husband's children from his first wife may have been raised by another Cawley relative.Hi Andarah!
Does any of that sound familiar?
My great grandmother Eliza lived with Robert Owen Hampson and is listed with him on the 1891 census. We have never found a marriage record for them. He later married Susan Garret. Eliza's death cert has her as Eliza Hollingsworth (nee Cottier) "widow of Thomas Hollingsworth a Ship Captain". Her children were Owen, Jane, Philip...all listed on birth certs with Robert as the father. All three later in life used the name Hollingsworth...very confusing..Have you heard of this by chance?
