Sadly, there is no immediate connection to your Benjamin and the TPM Hammett.  Your lineage comes from Benjamin Hammett 1816 Milton  Abbas, father William 1788 Milton Abbas, father William 1760 Milborne St Andrew - father John who was buried 1794 Milborne St Andrew.

Is the photo you refer to of the old lady standing in the doorway of the house from the 1930's TUC book? If so this was his niece not his aunt or gran.  It is not certain he lived with her either, as that photo was from the 1930's (he was dead by then).  To see where he lived you need to look at where he was in the various census, which unfortunatley just seem to say Tolpuddle!

Hi Laverne it is on page 157 of that TUC book, but get the mag glass out - as Mary is just a little figure in the distance.  The shop there sells a copy if you haven't got one already, see you then. :)

James Hammett was born in 1811 and had a young son when arrested in 1834.
This appears to be him in 1841, although I haven't checked to see whether he married a Harriot :

James Hammet, 30+, ag lab, Y
Harriot Hammet, 30+, Y
George Hammet, 8, Y

No sign of a grandmother in the house (who could have been a Hammet or Foot, as his mother was a Foot), although James had been back for four years.

james hammett married harriett gibbons 1st nov 1832 tolpuddle

Hello, I was pleased to find someone who was related to Benjamin Hammett from Milton Abbas, I am a descendant of his and would be pleased to hear from anyone else who is. I understand he died in 1840 having been knocked down by a cart in M.A. Having just visited there on holiday and seen the main road I am now not surprised.
