Umm, I think I've confused myself by reading everything posted way too quickly. If I have read everything right Filmer's father was Robert Hammond and Filmer's son was also called Robert Hammond. Or have I typed in something wrong somewhere which has confused everyone else?

yes Filmer's father and his son were called Robert Hammond ELVY

Thanks Ros,

That actually eases the confusion a tiny bit. Mum has Robert Hammond married to Eliza Louisa but has him as the father of Harold Nelson Elvy, not Filmer.
