Hi Trish

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I was beginning to think you had withdrawn from the rootschat forum. I hope your surgery went well and that you won’t be bed bound for too long. I am afraid I gave the wrong dates for my John Hammond. He was actually born in Gawsworth in 1662 and died there in 1718. I can’t be sure of these dates as they were found in a Family Search file. And his wife was Alice Lucy born 1664 died in Gawsworth 1697. John’s father was maybe a George but I have nothing to corroborate that. Alice’s father was Fulk Lucy. The dates I have may very well be wrong since I don’t have any sources other than what was contained in the Family Search file. I’d love to hear more about John Hammond Sr. and where he was from. Any information you have on the Hammonds would be warmly welcomed. Take care and I wish you a speedy recovery. Do you need my email address to send me information? I don’t know the protocol about sharing email addresses or going offline so to speak. Maybe you know how to do this. Get well soon. Cheers, Jay Hammond

Hi Trishmusic

I'm writing from Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I was very excited to see your post about the Hammonds of the Gawsworth area and that you had information on some of them dating back to the early 1500s. My ancestor is one John Hammond born 1672, maybe in Warwickshire, but died in Gawsworth in 1718. He was a reverend and married to an Alice Lucy. His father was potentially a George Hammond. He may have had a brother Robert. Do any of these names match your information on the Gawsworth Hammonds? If so are you willing to share it with me? I look forward to hearing back from you.
