Family Memories with Fay Hampson
Here is my great-great-grandmother, Mrs Hayward, in 1880 with her three daughters, twins Polly and Sally, and Kitty born in 1854, who was my great grandmother.
Sally married horse breeder Jack Jones, of Whitegate Farm Wrexham. The Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) was so impressed by Jack’s Gold Cup winning horses at the Windsor Horse Show, that he started buying his carriage horses from him.
Polly kept a summer boarding house on the North Wales coast. Kitty married Henry Hampson and one of their sons was my grandad Herbert Hampson, of whom I have written at length.
