LITTLE JAMES
- Hungerford
Trying to trace my gt gt grandfather James Little born in Hungerford circa 1821. To date after much searching I have still been unable to find his birth or marriage dates. The only other info I have is that he married an Ann (nee name unknown)who wasborn in Freystrop in Pembrokeshire(now Dyfed Wales). From the 1861/1871 censuses I know he had a least 4 children, William Little b.c.1848, Thomas Little b.c. 1852, Elizabeth A.Little b.c. 1859 and Mary Jane Little b.c. 1865. They were all born in Pontlottyn in Glamorgan, so obviously he had moved to find work in the Iron Works.
If anyone has any information or connections I would be most grateful for their contact.
Regards Rita

Kemp, Henry
- Hungerford
Henry Kemp was the youngest of 7 children of William Kemp and Ann Kemp (nee Ambrose) - they were all baptised at C of E Chilton Foliat. Any descendants please contact me.
Henry married an Isobella Martha Wright, born c 1803, from Reading; that's all i have.
I have Henry's line down reasonably well: he had 2 sons and one daughter. Henry jnr married twice; is first wife died very early in their married life. He later married Emily Jacklin in the late 1870's. She gave him 6 more children, the eldest of whom died as a child. Isabella jnr married George Barrett and they had 4 children and lived at length in Bethnal Green, London. George, the youngest is my great grandfather. He died at 53 in 1893. George had one son, George William my grandfather, who in 1912 emigrated to Australia. I am given to understand that there may have been a daughter born to George and his wife Jane Kemp (nee Green, from Essex), but i'm not sure of her details as i have not been able to elicit anything from the censuses of BMDIs.
I'm in Brisbane, Australia and would love to make contact with any of his line.
Kind regards
Julie
