Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: 1891 CENSUS, SAMPSON
« on: Tuesday 18 June 13 22:53 BST (UK) »
I was interested to see that you are interested in the Sampson lineage. My paternal Grandmother was Rose Hannah Sampson - Born Norton (Juxta Kemspey) Worcstershire. She met my Grandfather -Charles Albert Barton in the 1880s - I think because a very large new barracks was built at Norton and he was in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He hailed from hastings in Sussex originally and was a long way from home for those days.
Her children were Herbert, Ada, Flora, Albert and Charles Barton. She married young and moved all over with CA Barton including Malta - as he was an army officer until after the First World War. She apparently loved all the different postings. I have only just started looking into all this and only discovered the place of her birth in the last few months. The 'cottage' still exists in Norton although I have yet to go there. She had other family - brothers/sisters and I note you have info on the Sampsons.
I would like to know more about the Sampsons. 'Rose' died aged 85 in 1950 in Rugby having left her retirement home in Hove (Sussex) during the war after her husband died in 1941 and my Father (her youngest 'child') volunteered for the Second World War in 1939. Her other offspring were all married by then with children of their own.
With thanks.
