Hi Vicki Just for clarification; the marriage of Henry Hammersley to Sarah Butcher took place, after Banns, at All Saints church, Bedworth, not the Independent Chapel... Bn 18.07.1785 Hammersley Henry (x) Bedworth to Butcher Sarah (x) Bedworth Joseph Lole, William Court Best wishes Carole -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Vicki D Sent: 20 March 2010 15:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [WAR] Henry Hammersley of Bedworth Hello, I'm relatively new to the search, but have hit a wall when trying to research further back for my 6times great-grandfather Henry Hammersley's birth and parents. Henry Hammersley was born around 1761. He married to Sarah Butcher 17 July 1785 in Bedworth Independent Chapel and they had 4 children, Hannah b1787, Martha b1789, Henry b1796, Diana aka Dinah 1798. This is according to Bedworth parish records and the 1821 Census. Henry was a silk weaver, so I believe his father or parents probably were also. Henry died January 1824 in Bedworth. Does anyone have suggestions where I might start looking for Henry's parents? Any suggestions are very welcome as the possibilities are daunting! Huguenot connection through Spitalfields is a possibility, but that's only a guess, and how would I know how/where to look for that connection? Thanks in advance, Vicki D.
