Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / CAN ANYONE PLEASE READ OR ENHANCE……?

« on: Sunday 05 November 23 10:09 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone please manage to read or enhance this signature.
The marriage is recorded as of a George Porter and Mary Ann Wicks. George signed with a cross but Mary Ann signed her name but added another name to the register. As I have been searching for the past 14 years to find the marriage of her parents and her mothers maiden name. This could be the biggest clue yet if she took on her mothers maiden name and added it to her Christian name when signing.
Also underneath the name where the stain is appears to be further writing. I have tried to enhance it but am still unable to make out the name.
Thank you
Trish

Cheshire / Re: Hammonds of Gawsworth

Hi Trishmusic

I'm writing from Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I was very excited to see your post about the Hammonds of the Gawsworth area and that you had information on some of them dating back to the early 1500s. My ancestor is one John Hammond born 1672, maybe in Warwickshire, but died in Gawsworth in 1718. He was a reverend and married to an Alice Lucy. His father was potentially a George Hammond. He may have had a brother Robert. Do any of these names match your information on the Gawsworth Hammonds? If so are you willing to share it with me? I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Sooke-Jay
Sorry but I have only just seen your posts.
I have had a quick look at Rev John Hammond and I do appear to have some info on him. Are your dates correct? I have a copy of an inscription which is inside Gawsworth Church giving his date of birth as 1651 and death as 1724. It also gives details of wife Alice and her fathers name.
John Hammonds father was also a John Hammond of Hatton in Shropshire. The Warwickshire connection is through his wife Alice.He received his B.A. in 1672 and M.A. in 1674
Am recovering from surgery at he moment, but as soon as things get back to normal I will be in touch with the information that I have.
Kind regards and Happy New Year

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Gawsworth Memorial Insciptions

« on: Sunday 11 July 21 12:29 BST (UK) »

I have the details of a burial at Gawsworth , and as I have no chance of visiting the UK in the near future, am trying to obtain a copy of the Memorial Inscription to know exactly who is buried in the plot, with all details.
Plot number is 92 (which I think should be just through the church gates towards the front of the church, as my other ancestors plot, number 90, is there).
Plot 92 is for a James HAMMOND buried 1836 and Mary HAMMOND buried 1800

A photo would be sufficient, but if not where could I obtain a copy please ?
Fiche number 19
Grave number 92 are the other details I have.

Thanks in advance
Trish

I took a photo of the remains of the original years ago, just in case it became lost or received even more damage. It belonged to my mother who died 2 years ago, so not sure if it still exists. As I live abroad I will contact my brother see if he still has it. Thank you both ever so much for Your help.
