Hammond family, button makers

L

My interest in the Hammond family of button makers was sparked by these wills: https://www.onefivenine.info/buttons.html (near the bottom of the page).
I knew I had Turner ancestors and that one of them (my great great grandfather) was called Samuel Hammond Turner but it wasn't until John Turner's will of 1840 mentioned Samuel Hammond as his uncle (and vice versa) that I worked out there was a family tie. Samuel Hammmond died in 1825.
Bonham Hammond, another of Samuel Hammond's nephews, was a button maker in Birmingham in the late 1700s - he died in 1808. His sister Mary Greenhill Hammond died unmarried in 1822.
Does anyone know how these two families are related? It's my missing link and I'd love to fix it!
 
cant answer your question but i have found two marriages at st.martins for your family.

2.4.1793 bonham hammond to ann deakin

and

23.5.1821 samuel bonham hammond to maria gardener

i dont know if maria was underage but there is a special note saying

with consent of john gardener the natural lawful father of maria gardener
 
also a marriage of rose hammond 19 to henry cook 18 on 3.9.1894

they were living bromsgrove st. and roses father was george hammond occ. brewer
 
Have just signed up to this forum and ot is interesting, although I cant find any links just yet.

My grandfather was Joseph Percy Hammond and he was married to Ivy Hammond, I think they were probably born in the early 1900's

My own father who was born much later in 1939 was George Hammond.
