Hi Everyone!

Quote from Reiver:

Can we agree - unti proved one way or another - that William Harley was indeed the illegitimate son of Fanny Maria?    Or not?

WH born 1857 - Yes, I agree too  Fanny is most likely to be his mother given the 1861 Census. Probably not Betsy, since he was referred to as her Nephew in 1871. Probably not Angela (but it is possible she could have had a baby at 14 ish!), probably not Joseph's son, since WH was probably registered as a STEAD! And probably not Harriet since she married BUTTERWORTH in 1851.

Now hey,  I may be onto something re Dorothy May TITTERINGTON! 
She who may be the Dorothy M who married Edwin J HAMPTON in 1915 in West Derby.....

1901: West Derby, St Mary the Virgin, Liverpool Lancashire
Ref: RG13 / P  3494 /  F  149 /  Pg 16
Address: 25 Winifred Street
Head: Edwin HAMPTON 40, Hotel Waiter, b Stone Staffs
Wife: Annie 38, b Dalston, London
Dau: Bessie 16, Music Teacher (works from home), b Liverpool
Son: Edwin J. 14, Office Boy (Cotton ....?, b Liverpool
Dau: Eva Kate 10, b Liverpool
Dau: Gladys M. 6, b Liverpool
Dau: Cecelia B. 1, b Isle of Man

I think this may be in or near the Bootle area

And here's the thing.....in a well known source (A) is a public tree of someone who has that HAMPTON  family in it! The father of Edwin Snr is named James - which may be Edwin Jnrs middle name. The tree doesn't extend down beyond the father's name, but has links to the 1901 Census - so the tree owner maybe (probably? hopefully ) has a lot more information but not on web-site. The owner is still currently active - so with your collective approval - I will make contact and see if there is a connection to 'our' tree?

Cheers

Good work Ambly. This is the birth record I think in 2Q 1887:

HAMPTON Edwin James       West Derby 8b   530     

Looking in the phonebooks I can see listings for Edwin J Hampton/Edwin James Hampton in Birkenhead until 1941.

In The Times 29 January 1951 there is a death notice for an Edwin James Hampton died 27 January 1951 at 17 Brooks Mews Mayfair - "dearly loved husband of Dorothy". Could be a different couple entirely of course.

Thanks for the Titterington link Annie I'll contact the site owners.

1938 Kellys has Edwin James Hampton living in Bidston Road Birkenhead, a Director of Heaton Tabb & Co Ltd.

Heaton Tabb was a firm of decorators with offices at 55 Bold Street Liverpool and 6 Bidston rd Oxton, and a factory in Duke St
