Find Ancestors

Oh dash, I was so counting on my 10% !!!!! Spent it on shoes ,in my head ,already LOL

Yes it was funny really. I wish Lewis would reveal himself.Ooooo that didnt sound right lol

Aw, c'mon, it was kinda funny. ;) Although definitely had the possibility of not turning out that way.

Sorry QG - if I'd seen your post before I left last night I would have given you a heads up.

Get a life Lewis

Since none of the names on your tree appear on any registers, Times obits, Burkes peerage, or in De Brets ,the piece on Wiki is unsourced and 2 days old, I think it must be April !st .!

If a probate researcher hasnt found your cousin I dont hold much hope. They have access to records in easy reach.

Im wondering if your cousin moved abroad?

!911 census So far three walters, Bricklayers son, artists son or Clerks son, any suggestions Lewis ?

I may have found something!

"Thomas and (Mary) Ann in 1851 - both shown as married - explains why William & George were living with relatives:"

and the household consists of:

Catharine F Annots 3
Catherine Annots 31
Edward B Annots 1
George M Annots 4
Henry Annots 33
Elen Aris 22
Susannah Arnold 60
Mary Bounds 17
Charlotte Burbidge 50
Charles Daviss 56
>> Pescole Gardiner Hewitt 38
>> Elizabeth Hammonds 16
Ann Harriss 30 - Cook
Thomas Harriss 34 - Butler


Could Lewis be the descendant of the offspring of an illicit affair between an Italian tutor and the housemaid?


... Or ... of something never whispered of even with the curtains drawn?

Marriages Dec 1901
Hammonds Sarah Jane Stoke T. 6b 300
HEWITT Annie Stoke T. 6b 300

Well, Lindsey, it may well be an Irish peerage. "My" Moncks started out that way. Maybe they are careful for the first-born males still to get hatched, matched and despatched in the old country!

Oh yer they are mega rich ! Have you put their names on a tree on here? It helps to get connections.

I cant see Charles birth yet what year was he born ?

Dear dear.

"Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was one of the most successful English monarchs of the Middle Ages."

Sadly, the peerage having been awarded posthumously (re the awarder, although maybe also the awardee), I fear the inheritance may have to be claimed in the same place whence the peerage was granted!

Thanks, are they a Probate research company ? As if they are the attorney estate superintendant here at AbbeyMount has already been in contact with one such firm to no avail.

Hee hee. It's a good one though!

I'll trade you for proof my gr-grfather - or his sister - was the son of Capt. William Monck, killed at Alma in 1854, a few weeks before my gr-grfather's sister was born ...


Oops ...

"Viscount Lewis has purchased an additional 9,000acres of arable land since hes succession, leaving the estates current jurisdiction at of 28,000 acres and comprising of over 82 Tennant Farmed, Farmsteads."

I think Viscounts are generally referred to by surname ... and can spell and punctuate. ;)

They are from the BBC TV program Heir Hunters they take a 10% cut if they find him. Probably on google.

The Title and Style of Viscount is derived from a hereditary peerage that Thomas Edward Hewitt Hammond was granted in 1399 by King Edward 3rd as renumration for services renderred by the estate.

My Family owns the abbeymount estate, there is a short article on wikipedia about abbeymount.

Thomas was born in Cheshire in 1905 and i believe Walter was born in Cheshire in 1901.

Who are Fraser and Fraser and how could i contact them ?

Regards
Lewis

When and where was Thomas born, do you know ?
Sounds like a job for Fraser and Fraser !

Is it not rather odd that there is no reference to a Viscount Hammonds anywhere on line? Per google, anyway.

The Viscount in my own family tree (my second cousin four times removed) has his own Wikipedia page!

Viscounts aren't usually called John James Jones the 1st. They might be called the first Viscount Jones, for instance.

Was your father the second Viscount Hammonds? or was it a life peerage? (The one in my tree was, dang. The other Viscount possibly in my tree is in an hereditary peerage line still going strong.)

I am in search of a cousin on my paternal line who is joint beneficiary to my late grandfathers estate.

My Grandfather Viscount Charles Hewitt Hammonds the 1st died in July this year and left his entire estate to his two Grandsons.

My Fathers Brother was Called Thomas, but he has been missing for over 25 years, we believe he has a son but as my father has also passed away i am having trouble in finding him.

Can anybody help ?
