Hallo Listers, Further to Richard Evans' and Mark Milton's emails could I enter the 'King' discussion? I have an Ellen King who married my great grandfather John Hammond in 1866 on the Isle of Wight but I have no other details as to here birthplace. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth in 1868. the child John Ernest Hammond survived. His father came from Bognor and remarried in 1872 to Georgiana Waynforth. Do either of you see any connection here? Chris Hammond, SFHG 7451
Hard to know whether there is any connection - there is no Ellen in the rather limited info that I have for the Albourne King family which I've looked at. I've noticed that there were quite a few King families distributed around Sussex at that time - and I suspect that was also probably true for Hampshire - so the chances of a connection look a bit slim and very uncertain.. By way of explanation, I e-mailed in response to Mark Milton's listing of King amongst his surname interests because it seems very likely that my Louisa King and his Richard King lived in the same village - although separated by a couple of generations. I was e-mailing on the off-chance that Mark might have a descendant tree for his Richard King showing Louisa as one of his descendants - but it appears not. Mark correctly points out that I will have to patiently trace Louisa's ancestry back a couple of generations before any connection with Richard King (if it's there) emerges.
