Non-conformist query.

I've also just looked on Ancestry and there are a lot of deaths for Arthur Hammond's, is there an age range for him?

Have just seen he was born in 1872.

This could be your Arthur:

Name: Arthur Hammond
Death Registration Month/Year: 1919
Age at death (estimated): 50
Registration district: Woolwich
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1d
Page: 1780

As for William, have you got a rough date for his death?

[Peter Goodey]

The main person in question is William Hammant b.1892 in Fulham

Sometimes you have to reconsider your base data.

Births registered in Fulham in 1892 include...

Births Mar 1892 Hannant William
Births Dec 1892 Hammant William James

Neither of those quite fits the bill. So which one is yours? Or neither?

I have no rough date for death for William - I have a birth and him on the census in 1901 and 1911

He was born 7th sept 1892 in Fulham - William James Hammant (I think the 2nd of your suggestions, Peter. I have the birth cert)

Arthur was born in Crayford, I believe the family briefly lived in Derbyshire and then settled in Wandsworth/putney by the end of the nineteeth century. I trawled through the entire index and wrote down everyone with the name Arthur Hammond...there are really too many to work with, but eliminating by age and location, I still have 4 wrong certs. (I obtained the woolwich one)

I have no reason to believe Arthur had the middle name George - on one record it indicates Frederick (this was his father's name) Otherwise he has just appeared as Arthur.
Thanks for all of your suggestions

I found some William Hannants / Hammants but the ages are all out of sync with an 1892 birth.

Thanks Robin, I look into those.

Thanks Robin, I look into those.

The age at death doesn't match a birth of 1892 so I wouldn't expect them to be right.
