Looking at various refs, there's a John Hammond buried at Prestwold 1728, grazier of Burton, there's admin for him 1729 and his widow is Ann.

An Ann Hammond of Burton upon the Woulds leaves a will in 1734, she only makes provision for one son who is to be looked after by her brother Thomas Hammond until John is 21.
She also names her sisters Elizabeth ?Hartson and Isabella Hammond

Hi C17

Thank you for getting in touch, I was able to pass on the photo's etc to the D.H. Lawrence society because of the memorabilia, I do hope that's ok with the family.
