Hammond

From on Wed, 28 Jan 2004

Elizabeth Andrews had a sister Esther who married Benjamin William Stocks and Esther and Benjamin had a daughter Helena Mortimer Stocks who was my great grandmother - her husband was Harry Beaumont Hammond.

I have Mary Ann Whitcomb's birth as 11 April 1804 and christened 11 November 1804 Bodmin, Cornwall, England
ALSO I have James Andrews' death 4 September 1890 Kyabram East, Victoria age 84, buried at Mooroopna, Victoria
Jenny - see this page for Esther and Benjamin's family

From on 15 Nov 2005

Hi Elizabeth, I have just found your entry on the internet referring to my great great grandfather - John Clark Hammond. I would be interested if you have any more information about him.
My grandfather (Stanley Hammond) was the son of Ernest Clark Hammond whose father was John Clark Hammond.
My father Richard James Hammond spent most of his life in Toowoomba My mum is into Genealogy in a big way, but unfortunately we have reached a bit of a dead end around gg grandfather John Clark Hammond. We are led to believe that he came from England before 1850 on a survey ship called the "Rattlesnake" and jumped ship in Australia. I have been to the PRO in London and looked through the ships log for the Rattlesnake, but it doesn't seem to mention any reference to him. What we are really interested in is details of his birth as we would like to track down his birth certificate/details.
Hope you can help and if there is anything we can help with, please ask.
Many thanks
Colin Hammond
