Early Years

Catharine Hampton was born on the Isle of Man, in about 1803, at Braddon, according to the 1851 and 1871 Census.
The 1861 Census states her place of birth as Michael, and an early IGI record has Lonan.

Catharine Hampton married, at about age 23, to 22 year old John Wade.
They were married on the Isle of Man, in the parish of German, on the 1st of January 1826.

Census Records

In 1841, Catharine's husband John, about age 38, was working as a linen and woollen weaver, according to the census, while living at Kionehenin, just north of Dhoon, in the Parish of Maughold. It is worth noting that in this area there was a quarry, on the side of Barony Hill, and it is quite possible that John Wade also worked in the mines.
