I have a copy of my G grandfather and G grandmothers marriage. From this I have been able to trace my G grandmothers family on the census'. However, I am struggling to find my G grandfather.
The info I have is the following:
Harold Hammond m Sarah Hawkins 25 Dec 1924.
Both were 19.
Harolds father - Harold Hammond, Carman, Deceased.
They were married in Fitzroy Sq W1 and both lived in the Camden area (NW1).
One of the witnesses was F Hammond - possibly my G grandfathers mother/brother/sister?
Can anyone else see my G grandfather/GG grandfather on the census?
Thanks

Here goes:
St Johns Fitzroy Square W1

Harold Hammond, aged 19, occupation is a little hard to read - looks like driver, I can't decipher the word before driver, poss 'motor'?
62 (I think..) Cleaveland St
Father - Harold Hammond, deceased, carman.
Sarah Hawkins, aged 19, no occupation
193 Drummond St, NW1
Father - Daniel Hawkins, market porter.
Witnesses - F.Hammond and R.Hale.

Sarah
. . . . . and your G-Grandmother's name? [sorry should have asked that originally]
Could F.Hammond be big sis Florence? b 1904?

No worries, my Ggrandmother was Sarah Hawkins, her details are above too.
With regards to Florence, I think you are right, should have known that. My dad always refers to her as 'Doll, so threw me a bit!!

Hi
Not Sarah.
Harold's mother, Harold senior's wife?
R

Sorry Ray, doesn't take a lot to confuse me!!
No, I don't know the name of Harold Snr's wife. I was hoping that when I got the marriage cert and Harold Jnr's fathers name that I may be able to find them living together on the census as a family (as I did with Sarah). But like I said in my original message, I can't seem to find a family that is 'likely' to be them, wasn't sure if I was just missing them?
As far as I know my fathers family (Hammonds) have always lived in the Camden area of London, or on the borders, i.e Islington etc, but this is not a fact.

Thanks for all the help, it is looking likely that they are the Witham family though as some of the siblings names match up. I will have to do a bit bit more research to confirm this but this is a great place to start.
