Thanks everyone
                      mc8 John Delme Hannam only shows up in Ancestry and IGI and not FindMyPast and only his birth and baptism ( I have a copy of the register so it is correct) I thought Delme was possibly his mothers maiden name but could get no further. the family seem to have been fairly static since before their first child in 1758.
Richard Snr's I have been unable to find, plenty of names but nothing concrete. I also do not have a date of death for him.

Ray thanks for the book recommendations

Hi, you might find your ancestor in rate books.  I found my family in a St James watch rate book for 1776 at Westminster City Archives (catalogue ref D609).  Full coverage of their rate books will be on their web site.

Hello Steve

I took a look at DocumentsOnline and found there are Hannam Wills there which may be of interest.

There is one for an Elizabeth Hannam, Widow of St John the Evangelist, Westminster - 1772.

You may see a connection in the Hannam names.   Good Luck........

Thanks everyone very useful info.
Emmeline I found that Will and downloaded it but apart from the name and date being in the right area it gave no family members except a Sister Mary which seemed strange give a fairly large family. But I'll not discount it yet.

Thanks    Steve

Hello Steve

It's always a thrill when one purchases a Will which has enough clues to tell you it belongs to the family you

are looking for.

I have plenty where perhaps only one sibling is mentioned ( one wonders why) and so they have been put to

one side until more information surfaces.  Never discard or discount

What a pity there was no obvious link in the will. One to keep up your sleeve for another day is an earlier Hannam in the same area

Prerogative Court of Canterbury and related Probate Jurisdictions: Will Registers. Will of John Hannam, Tallow Chandler of Saint James, Middlesex.
Collection: Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
Date range: 12 June 1725 - 12 June 1725
Reference:PROB 11/603/411

Thanks Emmeline It seems strange that it was such a brief will barely a page, not that there was much value in it.

Thanks mc8 This John could have been one of Richards older brothers, I think I might purchase a copy and see if it has any further info on it. Where could I obtain a copy?

Its on the Documents Online website as before-I used advanced search, using Hannam and then any one of London, Westinster and James'

If you cannot locate it, try putting in the document reference I quoted, or I will try to send a link
