Could someone please enlighten me as to where Hampton in Arden, Warwickshire is located. My Great Great Grandfather Joseph Taylor was born there in 1825. He later married and resided in the Oldbury area where my Great Grandmother Ann Taylor was born in 1861. Is Hampton in Arden part of Birmingham?

It is in Warwickshire - you can find it here :

Shakespeare set much of 'As You Like It' in the Forest of Arden.
