    Exclamation GEORGE PERCY HAMMERSLEY

    GEORGE PERCY HAMMERSLEY
    My Greatgrand father was born in approx 1878 in London his name is George Percy Hammersley I can find him on 1901 and 1911 census and his marriage to Lydia Cecil in 1900. I cannot find any trace before 1900 of either him or his father, whos name according to George's marriage certificate is Joseph Hammersley, but we are beginning to wonder if his birth name was in fact George. I have looked at a Percy G Hammersley who was born about the same time, but do not think this is my ancestor, as when following that line back, it doesnt fit in with other known information. My Great Grandfater was latterly a publician in London, but initially a carpenter/cabinet maker. I have looked at various Hammersley familys including the "optical" Hammersleys, but cant seem to find any connection between any of them and my ancestors. Any help regarding the birth of my Greatgrand father would be much appreciated. Unfortuantely I dont know his mothers name or if had any siblings.

    Hello
    From the info on a later census Joseph was born in Croydon, I have found your family 1881 transcribed as Hammersby it actually says Hammersley.
    Joseph 49 Joiner
    Eliza M 32 Draper Dover Kent
    Horace W 4 Hackney Mid/sx
    Percy G 2 Croydon

    Hope this helps

    As your ancestor may have been a publican you may find him in the tradedirectories

    Hello again
    Correction on that last post Joseph was 32 born 1849 sorry. In 1891 the same family but now his wife's name is Alice same age, Eliza could have died and he re-married.
