Cheshire / Re: Hampson family - Runcorn watermen
« on: Saturday 16 April 16 10:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I am a Hampson (b 1947) and still live not so far from Runcorn. I am descended from John who died in 1841 and whose wife then married again (Owen). I would be very interested in finding out anything about the Hampsons who were boatmen, anything before 1800 and seeing any photographs. My grandfather Joseph (a baker, and grandson of John) died of meningitis soon after my father was born.

I have come across other baptism records which are believe are William and Mary’s other children -  sons Joseph Sept 12 1813 and Thomas June 18 1815; occupation then mariner and living in Stockton Heath. This seems to me to link in geographically, by name with the 2 later Josephs in my own Hampson line and with the mariner / waterman / ferryman work theme.

Sorry, I've not made any connection to Richard. But I do still live locally (about 8 miles from Runcorn) so if there is anything on the ground I can help to track down for you then let me know.

Hello

I'm a Hampson and a direct descendant of John Hampson (b 1805) and Alice Booth of Runcorn mentioned by several others. I was also born in Runcorn.

Parish records are a way to get further back and my research has indicated that John was the son of William Hampson, a weaver from Warrington and his wife Mary.
