[steve62]

Have James G. Hamer (1863-     )  Parents William Hamer & Amelia Gregson)
Walmersley, Bury area.

According to the 1911 - Simons Sport Farm, Hawkshaw Lane, Ramsbottom - Labourer Cotton Mill
Wife Alice Ann Hamer.  Married approx. 1882.
First child was born in 1883.

Cannot find a marriage between 1880-1882.  Don't know if wife was Alice Ann ........ or was in fact Alice Ann Hamer.
Tried the Anc/Freebmd/Familysearch and Zilch.
Hamer is a very common name in the Bury and surrounding areas.
Grateful for assistance.

Hi,

Have you discounted this marriage found on LancsBMD:

James Hamer and Alice Ann Gaskell   1883   Bury  (Register Office or Registrar Attended)


Ramsbottom is in the Bury Registration District.

A birth certificate for one of their choldren will show Alice's maiden name.

Eileen   Hamer   born 1902       Bury     mothers maiden name Gaskill   from Lancs BMD site

[steve62]

Looked at lancs.bmd to check the seven children from the 1911.  Found only one child the son Harold b.1900. (mother Gaskell)
Did'nt see Eileen b.1902 Bury.
I put in Hamer and mother Gaskell and the various dates of the children - "Lancashire".
Have I searched the wrong way?

However thank you both very much for your time and interest. Appreciated.

Steve

Correction: Just tried without putting mothers' maiden name and found the entries with maiden name.
