Title: William Hammer Victoria-His parents & origin in UK
Post by: Hyjean on Wednesday 20 January 21 03:14 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find when William Hammer who married Ada Williams in 1903- parents came to Australia- and the ship.
I would like to find their place of origin.
William was a miner born in Australia -assume Ballarat or Bendigo but have no idea where the Hammer family originated.
Can anyone help me please?
CheersHyjean

Ancestry has a tree with him in it -from what I can see it appears to be well-researched with certificates etc mentioned.  You should check though.

His parents are listed as
William HAMMER, b Apr 1846, St Austell, Cornwall, England, died 2 NOV 1896 • Ballarat East, 
and
Elizabeth Jane TRELOAR, b Dec 1851, Cornwall, England, died 1927. Ballarat East, Victoria, Australis
