1747 Almanack Owned by
Hannah Stamford (nee Crompton, 1720-1788)
This small Almanack has a number of hand written notes by Hannah Stamford (nee Crompton, 1720-1788). Her parents were John Crompton (1690-1750) and Hannah Mather (1701-1723). Her husband was Thomas Stamford (17??-1787), son of John Stamford. In the Almanack Hannah records the dates of death, and also a few marriages, of her parents, aunts, uncles, step aunts, step uncles, parents in law, aunts in law, uncles in law, cousins and family acquaintances.
The Almanck was printed in 1747 and at this time Hannah would have been 27 years old. The following table gives on the left a transcription of what appears to be written in the diary. One the right are my notes to indicate who the person was and how they were related to Hannah.
