Angela Teague added (July 2009): "... CLARA HAMPTON . The message was : Hubert Hampton the conductor was my Great Grandmother's cousin and I think but cannot be sure that his wife was called Elizabeth. I also think that Clara Beale in Row 3 is Hubert's sister and that Eliza Hampton, also in Row 3, is Hubert's cousin. All the Hamptons had a lot to do with Bream Methodist Chapel. There was even a rumour that they helped with the building, but that may be jus a family legend".
