Hi Pete,

sorry not been on much........ hubbies off for 3 weeks so my time is taken elsewhere at the mo.

Well Sampson certainly names his own father as Sampson on his marriage to Ellen Rogers, now whether this is just a name to save face I am unsure?

I haven't located Ellen after Sampson's death yet......... but will try now.

Hi Pete,

Just popped in to check my threads. Now Jonesey has a tip on the Tips Board regarding Wills............ I had a quick read and it seems that you maybe able to get a copy and not have to pay a ridiculous amount!! It may name his children also.......... now that would be a bonus!

I still couldn't get any further back with Sampson Snr, he may name his father as Sampson on his 2nd marriage, but I'll be blowed if I can see anything!!

All for now, Dee xx
