Charles Hampton, 1839-1916, Family
Charles was the Postmaster in Longhope, Gloucestershire in the mid to late 1800's. His son,
George assumed these duties. It is believed the photo was taken in Aug 1898 at the
funeral of Esther Canning Grimes Hampton. That would have been one of the
occasions that the family would have gathered, also Charles is present & Esther is not.
The names and dates are courtesy of Ethel (Hampton Harrison) Heafield, daughter of
Elsie Hampton Harrison, in the photo, and Granddaughter of Charles Hampton, also
in photo. This information was gathered May, 2008 at Ethel's home in Pinner,
outside of London. Ethel was 95, in good health and sharp as a tack. Sadly, Ethel died on Dec 28, 2014, she will be missed.
