Hello there, have just come across your request for information on the Hampshire family and can tell you that I also have an Ezra Hampshire born in Middlestown in 1862 who's father is Henry from Thornhill born in 1829 and married to Mary Ann Lumb. I don't know if you still need any information but if I can help further don't hesitate to ask

Mrs. Margaret Hampshire obituary, d. 7/14/1913 western PA

cmovahed1 — 2012-04-14 02:18:19Z

From the Pittsburgh Press, 7/15/1913 (Pittsburgh, PA):

Connellsville, Pa., July 15 -- Mrs. Margaret Hampshire, aged 76, wife of John Hampshire, died yesterday in her home near South Connellsville. She was twice married. Her first husband, John G. Exsine was killed in the battle of Gettysburg. She is survived by her second husband, three daughters and four sons.

Joseph Hampshire and Elizabeth Hepper

cgsheldon — 2012-01-23 18:09:54Z

Hello,

I am attempting to research the ancestry of Joseph Hampshire, born c.1814, Yorkshire, who was married to Elizabeth Hepper (born 1816, Yorkshire).

According to their marriage record on Ancestry.com, Joseph's father was William Hampshire; Joseph's mother appears under the name of Rachel Chambers, widow, in the 1861 census.

I suspect that this is William Hampshire who married Rachel Fozzard on 25 Apr. 1808 in Wakefield, Yorkshire; they had at least six children, including Joseph. (Source: FamilySearch.org)

After William's death - sometime between 1819 and 1831 - Rachel re-married to Luke Chambers on 26 Jul. 1831, in Dewsbury, Yorkshire. (Source: FamilySearch.org)

Assuming the above is correct, I am now attempting to determine the identity of William's parents. I do not yet have an age for William, but I suspect that he might be a son of Matthew Hampshire and Mary Pickersgill, born c.1786, Thornhill, Yorkshire.

Is anyone else researching the family tree of Joseph Hampshire and can confirm or deny the above?

Thank you for your time,
Craig Sheldon

I am also trying to trace Hampshires from Pennsylvania.

Two brothers George W Hampshire (born 1847 Pennsylvania) and
J Hampsphire (born 1842 Pennsylvania) Both parents were born in Pennsylvania also. These brothers came to California before 1870.

Any matches with your Hampshire research?

douglass3 — 2010-10-01 18:08:22Z

My records from Germany show a Johann born 1732 and from the same family an Andreas born 1726. If that Johann is the John Hampshire of York County he would have been about 19-20 when immigrated but I have no confirmation of that but it is probable he married Anna Martia in 1751 and had their first born-Barnet in 1753.

Re: HAMPSHIRE

douglass3 — 2010-09-25 18:06:44Z

Lavon- I sent a message to the lady in Ala. and to Don regarding the possibility of my Hampshire name and the "slave" or Afro-American connection. Mind you race does not matter to me being a desendant of a Yankee but the possiblity of a connection might me that a brother of my line did go to Louisiana in early 1800s by the name of Jacob and his son-John went on to a place called "Hamshire"(still on the map) near Galveston,Tex. and with research including a book called "Destiny in Texas" there was mention of the "slave" and taking of the name issue. Best of luck on research.

Re: Hampshire History

douglass3 — 2010-09-25 18:00:16Z

Don I sent a reply to the Little Rock lady but for your information my great-great grandfather-Jonas of Ohio was a Yankee and we had no "slaves" in our line. However one of the original ancestor-John Hamshire of York Co. ,Pa had a son named Jacob who went to Louisiana and married a Hanna Lee and their son-John did go to a place still existing called Hamshire near Galveston, Tex. and I am sure he had "slaves" who might have taken the name. There was also a "freed" black who lived in Rhode Island. Hope this might help.

I am Mark Hampshire-8th generation of John (Johann)Hampshire of Germany who immigrated to Pa. in 1740s. My great great grandfather was Jonas of Ohio. A desendant of John's via Barnet. As far as I know none of my ancestors had "slaves" who would be classified as "Afro-American" .However, one of John's sons , a brother of my Barnet by the name of Jacob did go to Louisiana and then his descendant-John went to Hamshire,Tex. (a town near Galveston) and I am certain he had "slaves". You might check that line. Best regards.

I have posted my profile . So you know who I am. I am sorry I do not know your connection to the Hampshire clan?
Have we checked the federal census of Allegeny Co.-Pittsburg area? David would have been about right for a John (a father about late 30s)Another source we might check are Lutheran church records and also books on early settlers of the Pttsburg area. Keep in touch and maybe we could go more direct thru our full e-mails?

Hi Mark. Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Let's just say it's been a heck of a summer, LOL! I am not sure if I am really looking for John Hampshire/Hamsher, but it's my best guess at this point. I am back to David Hamphsire, b. 1821 in PA, d. 1864 Chester Co., PA. He mar. Margaret Cutler in 1842 at St. Mary's Prostestant Episcopal Church, Warwick, Chester Co., PA. Do you have any info which would cement my David as the son of your John? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. God bless.

aJohn Hampshire was born at that time to John Hampshire
(Hamsher) and Anna Marie Heckart in York Co. ,Pa.
It is possible he was born when the family was in
Northumberland Co. near Penns Creek, Pa. temporarily. He
supposedly then went to Allageny Co near Pittsburg,Pa.
The older John Hampshire was from Gau Heppenheim ,Germany
I am desendant of younger John's step- brother, Barnet.

Hampshire / Howe family of Oldham, Lancashire

cgsheldon — 2010-04-10 20:55:23Z

Hello,

I'm researching the family of Joseph Howe (born c.1868, Romiley, Cheshire) and his wife Mary Alice Hampshire (born c.1871, Oldham, Lancashire).

According to the 1911 Census Joseph and Mary had at least three children:

- William Howe, born c.1893, Oldham, Lancashire
- Harold Howe, born c.1898, Oldham, Lancashire
- John Howe, born c.1901, Oldham, Lancashire

According to the 1911 Census the Howe family lived at 101 Rock St., Oldham, and most of the family worked in a cotton factory.

I'd be particularly interested to speak with anyone who might have photographs of the Howe family or their descendants; I have some old photographs that I suspect might show members of the Howe family, but they remain unidentified.

Thank you for your time,
Craig Sheldon

Hampshire / Wild family of Oldham, Lancashire

cgsheldon — 2010-04-10 20:45:58Z

Hello,

I'm currently researching the family of Mary Alice Wild (born c.1874, Oldham, Lancashire) and her husband William Henry Hampshire (born c.1875, Oldham, Lancashire).

Mary and William had at least three children, according to the 1911 Census:

- William Henry Hampshire jnr., born c.1900, Oldham, Lancashire
- Frank Hampshire, born c.1901, Oldham, Lancashire
- Ethel Hampshire, born c.1904, Oldham, Lancashire

According to the 1911 Census, the Hampshire family lived in Radcliff St., Oldham, and William Henry snr. was a grocer / dealer.

I'd be particularly interested to speak with anyone who might have photographs of the above family; I have some photographs that I suspect might be of William Henry, Mary Alice and Ethel, but I don't know for certain and so need someone to correctly identify them.

Thank you for your time,
Craig Sheldon

I am also searching. I have documentation of Alfred, son of Mary and Joseph. I have that he sired a child by Annie (no last name listed) and either ended up in Halifax,Canada and started a family or I have records of both Alfred and Annie in prison in England. Nothing about Cape Town. Would love to know. He is a direct relation.

Re: Edmund Hampshire

jkhampshire1 — 2008-09-17 19:02:38Z

Hello cousin,

We share the same great grandfather, my grandfather was William's sibling, Edmund who was the youngest of the clan, my father was David who was Edmund's youngest.

Perhaps we could communicate by e-mail and see what information we could share, rather spotty on my side as my fathers family was very tight lipped and did not speak much about family history, I do know a bit about Sarah Broughton and that her family had an ancestral castle located at Broughton on Furness and that her father was a member of parliment and a baronet, also that a long succession of Hampshire's were silver smiths, also that the name Edmund had been passed down through many generations, also the middly name of Kay for male Hampshire children (my one son carries that middle name and the other carries Edmund, as well as some of my nephews). My grandfather Edmund settled in Rochester NY and had 5 children, none of whom are alive, they were Edmund, John Richard, David (my father), Betty, Mildred and Leonore. My grandfather Edmund was born To Edmund and Sarah in Swissvale, PA in 1888.
I have a collage of our mutual great grandparents and their children which I am sure would include a picture of your grandfather, I am not sure of all their names so you may be able to help in that respect, I dont believe I have them all scanned but can take some shots with my digital camera to e-mail to you.
Please drop me a line, I dont have many living relatives and it would be nice to connect with "lost" family members.

Regards

Alfred Hampshire, of Lancashire UK, 1876

cgsheldon — 2008-07-27 13:34:50Z

Hello,

I'm researching Alfred Hampshire, who I have reason to believe was born in Oldham, Lancashire, in 1876; and subsequently left South Africa to fight with the British forces around the time of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902).

As I have been unable to find any Alfred Hampshire's born in Oldham in 1876, the record that to my eye has the best potential is that of an Alfred Hampshire born in 1878, to William and Mary Hampshire. I have found mention of him in the 1881 Census (on FamilySearch.org and FreeBMD.org.uk); I believe in the Lancashirebmd.org.uk, where his mother's maiden name is given as Nield; and 1881-census.co.uk.

Whether or not this is the man I am looking for I honestly don't know; he certainly does not seem to appear in the 1901-census.com, which is when Alfred Hampshire is supposed to have already been in South Africa.

Regarding his military career, little is known other than that he allegedly trained troops at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town. He may have also served in World War One. Ancestry.co.uk does have the WWI Pension Records for a Alfred Hampshire, but neither date nor place of birth appears to be given.

During his time in South Africa he married Evangalina (maiden name unknown) and fathered at least three children: Wilfred George, Alfred Albert Victor and Lily.

He died and was buried in 1945 in Cape Town.

Any assistance you might be able to provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Lancsagirl — 2006-11-17 20:08:00Z

Hello Al, Many thanks for your reply, rather confused now since i was sure i had found my Henry Hampshire with his father and siblings .The dates fitted perfectly,however i have since tracked down Henry's marriage to my GtGtGrandmother Sally in 1846 and he gives his fathers name as James Hampshire not Joseph as i first thought. So back to the drawing board.Rather odd though as this is the only Hampshire family in the area.The 1841 census of course only gives Yorkshire as place of birth no town so unless i can find him with his family it could be a long search !! Pam.
