John Samuel Brooks Ham b 7 Jan 1867 Westminster, London

[Cockneyrebel]

The above was the eldest son of 6 children of John Joseph Ham 1824-1905 and Jane Eliza Waymark 1838-1918. He was baptised 24 Jan 1869 at St James Westminster and appeared on the 1871 & 1881 UK censuses at Westminster then Bedford, Bedfordshire.
According to some Anc trees he ended up in NZ and married and passed away there in 1913. However they have no sources for these 'facts' and seem to have copied them from other trees?

Can you see him on a passenger list going to NZ? 

Do the trees indicate the year he arrived?

Ok I see a tree that has marriage in Australia 1889 but children for some reason have the surname Hammond not Ham. 

Wife is shown as Eliza Jane Boylan died Australia 1932.

I would contact the tree owner and ask a few questions

Looks like you've disproved the Anc trees idea that he changed 2 parts of his name; unless you have fallen into the same trap as the Anc tree owners. They have someone called John Samuel Hammond but have no sources to back up a name change, you must admit he has a distinctive name, there are no sources whatever about his alleged marriage or migration/marriage, they seem to have copied from each other!?
There was a John Samuel Hammond b1867 in Norfolk so could be him?
