Find Ancestors

I am unable to find a relative in the 1871 census, got any ideas as to how I can find him

John,

What was his name, his year of birth and place of birth. I'm sure someone will find him for you :-D

If you would care to give us his name and any other details you have about him we could see if we can help !!

Is it possible now to find his young brother Aaron Hampson b 1860 Sheffield in 1881 living at family home with a wife Elizabeth, that's the last sighting of them

Thanks for the 1901. Census which I have Yet again Lemuel son of Richard is missing but I managed to find him in 1901 on a ship to Philadelphia

Did Aaron die in the Great War?

Margee,
I think this would be a more likely birth for that death?
Births Sep 1887
HAMPSON Aaron Ecclesall B 9c 356

The Aaron Hampson killed in 1917 was a relative but it's not the Aaron born 1860 in Sheffield. In 1880 Aaron Hampson born 1860 was baptised as an adult as a Roman Catholic which I believe must have done it to marry his wife Elizabeth McCarthy.I think maybe they could have gone to Ireland because I am unable to find the couple in any of the passenger lists but unsure.
