Missing life histories

[gillian.buckley2]

Hi, i cannot find any info on 2 greatuncles: Clarence George Bampton (1887) & Corrie Bampton (1900).
I have that Clarence served in WW1 but I would like to know if either of them were married or when they died as all I can find is birth records & Cencus 1901, so far. Gill

Hi,

Theres a pension record for a Clarence Geo Bampton father John mother Jane of Bucks (not married yet). If he is your Clarence let me know and I will email to you.

Would Corrie be short for Cornelius?

 

[juliejtp]

Its ok he was born Corrie.

Sorry to but in here - but your username is set as your email address. I say this as I am concerned that your email address is available for everyone to see. Not only that, there are 'bots' scanning all the websites looking for email addresses. You will get loads or spam and unwanted messages!:'(

We pride ourselves here of hiding all email addresses.

Hi Gill,

Have you considered that they may have emirgrated?.

Found a C Bampton on the New York Passenger list.

Arrival date 26 Jun 1920
Ship name Mauretania

C Bampton
Est year of birth 1887
English
Port of arrival New York

No port of departure listed.

Also found this one as well

C Bampton
Est year of birth 1901
Arrival date 9 Sep 1920
Port of Departure Para Brazil
Port of Arrival New YORK

He is listed on line 40 of the passenger listed, but somehow there seems to be a mistake on the image (cant find C Bampton).

Checked the two C Bampton's on the Ellis Island site both are down as Charles Bampton. The only thing is that C Bampton born abt 1887 is down as age 19 (transcription). Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that they emirgrated.

Hi,
I know that Clarence Bampton had 10 children & died in 1943, Fred Gregory died in France in 1917 but as to Corrie it is a complete mystery.
As you suggested he may have emigrated, possibly calling himself Charles or another name beginning with C. that is something I shall look into> Thanks Gill

Hi,
Just to say that I finally found that Corrie Bampton died in Allahabad in India in 1921 aged 21. Thanks.
