All entries within the GPR for the family name HAMER

An outstanding resource! A wonderful team of volunteers headed by Mr Sale. I am eternally grateful that they were able to fill in missing gaps in my ancestry and am proud of the hardwork and dedication that they show to their cause. Keep it up!

Thanks very much for this brilliant resource. Before being directed to your website by Ancestry I had been trying to find information regarding Sophia Hamer and family from the Ramsbottom area. The monument for John Brooks (of whom Sophia was the maternal grandmother), has helped immensely to both confirm my existing research, by supporting the information on the 1851 census, and by also providing new information regarding when Sophia, and her daughter Alice Brooks (nee Hamer) died. I believe there is a DNA link between this family and my own, which is descended from James Eckersley & Alice (or Annis) Buckley, a butcher and his wife who were living in Ballantyne Place (now Market Place), Ramsbottom on the 1841 census. I am interested in any further information regarding this family of Hamers, and am willing to share any information I have about them in return.
