Hammant Family
Researching the Hammant family tree has proved difficult.  So far I have managed to obtain some information from the 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, and 1901 census details.  It appears that my particular Hammant family lived and worked in the Bermondsey area of London, in the area of the Leather Market.  Most of the residents in this area either worked in the Leather trade, or on the Docks as Water Men.

So far I have managed to confirm the following.
Birth of JOSEPH HAMMANT on 8th May 1865, at 10 Kirby Street, Bermondsey.
Father - THOMAS HAMMANT - Leather finisher/journeyman.
Mother - ANN NEWMAN BURN

Marriage of JOSEPH HAMMANT to ROSALINDA ELIZABETH WEHRLE formerly HARRISON on 11th August 1886

Birth of JOSEPH ALEXANDER HAMMANT on 17th March 1889 at 71 Blake's Road, Bermondsey.
Father -JOSEPH HAMMANT - Hairdresser
Mother - ROSALINDA ELIZABETH HAMMANT formerly HARRISON

Marriage of JOSEPH ALEXANDER HAMMANT to ROSE EMMA FRANCES SLADE on September  7th 1913

Also have confirmation of the births and marriages of the children of Joseph A Hammant and Rose E F Slade, from certificates in my possession.
