John Edgar Hampton

  General Notes:

If you come across anything to do with John Edgar Hampton (1891) I shall be very interested. He apparantly ran off with the family silver (crested) we think with the name Pigeon. There is a bit more to ABH 1856. After Alberta (Lucy/Louisa) died he had another woman. Can't find any reference to a marriage but my mother knew the lady and she was wearing Alberta's brooch consisting of diamonds. He set up all the children with pubs either in Kent or London and sent the girls to convent schools. Plenty of money
We have found 3 daughters of his and think we have found marriages of 2 of them.
The story goes that he did a runner to Ireland with the loot but the girls marriages were in Bristol and Bodmin.
