Hammond

This line updated 18 January 2007.

My Hammond ancestors were labourers living in the 19th century in north-east Suffolk, near to the coastal town of Southwold.

The generations of my Hammond line:

Joseph HAMMOND (early 19th century) was a labourer. He had a son also called Joseph.

The younger Joseph HAMMOND (born about 1819, Wenhaston, Suffolk, living 1842-71, Frostenden, Suffolk) married Lydia TOVILL in 1842 at Frostenden. His occupation in various sources was given as labourer or agricultural labourer.

They had a daughter. Now this daughter's name is a bit tricky. I'm going to render it Myna Ann, but it never actually appears that way in any document. On her birth registration she's Miner Ann, in a childhood census she's Minor. I think when she grew up she dropped the M name and just went by Ann - eg at her marriage and the births of her children. But then when she was older she must have started using something like it again, as her grandaughters knew her as Minah (pronounced meena) or Mariah, and on her death certificate she's Mina A.

Anyway, Myna Ann was born in Frostenden, where she lived until she married, and later she lived at Carlton Colville in the very north-east corner of Suffolk. She married George Henry READ in 1865 in Worlingham, Suffolk. She died in 1934.
