Looking for help with details of C (or G) Hammond Etherton-Portsmouth Town Clerk

[jmec73]

Hi,

I'm looking for any assistance with locating the birth, marriage, death and parental details of a C Hammond Etherton (although might be a G) who I believe is an ancestor, and possibly a brother of a PT Etherton b.1879. I don't have much information, other than he was Portsmouth Town Clerk in 1912, where many of my Etherton ancestors were based in the latter half of the 19th and into the 20th century. I attach a reference to him as town clerk on a local plaque. Any assistance with finding out his details would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jon.
