Hammonds of Gawsworth

[Woolara]

I saw a book called Hammonds of Gawsworth on a site some where but have lost the reference. Does anyne know of such a book and if I could purchase it?

There is this thread on the Cheshire board talking about Hammonds of Gawsworth:

Hello Woolara,
I wonder if this is where you found it http://www.dnr.me.uk/ncfhs2/NCFHS_forms/liblistmay2011.pdf which appears to be a list of books held by the North Cheshire Family History Society. It's a short way down on p5. No author.
If you go to http://archive.cheshire.gov.uk/calmview/ and enter the words Hammond Gawsworth in the search box you should be taken to an item which might also be of interest (if, indeed, it's not the same as the one listed above).

Thanks very much. I believe the Hammond line I am searching is Mary born 1718 and father Robert. So I am trying to find family before that.

Is this the Robert Hammond you refer to:
Gawsworth St James "Robert Hammond of the Dale House ... 23 May 1767 aged 86 years" (partial transcription, see Macclesfield Ferrets 'Memorial Inscriptions of the Macclesfield District' for full info).
His will dd 1767 names wife Elizabeth and offspring including married dtr Mary, also grand-children. Worth a look if you haven't seen it already - order from CRO, or images are online on FindMyPast.
There are some other Gawsworth wills pre-1767, though I think at least some relate to the Hammonds of Mosshead, Gawsworth.
Re dtr Mary: she appears to have married William Wardle of Henbury/Pexall 1739. FindMyPast and familysearch suggest the marriage took place in Church Hulme, but don't take that for gospel... However, if it did, then maybe that is a clue to the Hammond family's whereabouts earlier in the century if not in Gawsworth???
