Does anyone have access to the US records on ancestry and could help me with the above.

I am trying to see if he can be found on a passenger list to see if any one else went with him.

I know he ends up in Delaware, Pennsylvania.

Parents are Henry Hammond and Honor Lee (also referred to as Anna, Hannah and Honoria etc). I can't find their deaths in Ireland, so wonder if they both ended up in the US too, Henry was born about 1820 and Honor was born 1824 both in Kilkenny. Henry was a blacksmith and I know he was in Kilkenny city but then seems to disappear.

Any help with anything on his son Henry Lee Hammond from his time In the US and anyone else connected to the family in that area.

I have info on them in Ireland, so don't need anything on that.

Thanks in advance.

Look at US censuses - and other records - on familysearch

Thanks for that Reggie. That helps. Is there an image for the census. Would it be possible to get a copy, if a message you my email Addie.

So looks like he moved in 1881, I wonder if he travelled alone or with relatives.

Think someone on another site may of located a will for him, so looking into how I get a copy

It seems strange that the YOB on the headstone is different to the DC - the DC does say buried in Calvary Cem

Delaware County

His wife Annie Hammond is buried in the same grave - yod 1940
Two different Henrys or the same one?

There seems to be various discrepancies with his birth, but I am sure it is all the same guy.

His real date of birth was 1852 (I have his baptism). He must of been telling a few porkies re his age or no one really knew how old he actually was it seems lol. I suppose things were not well checked in those days like they are now.

I am still not having any luck finding his parents deaths, either they died before civil registration or moved somewhere overseas from Kilkenny Ireland.

Thanks for your help everyone
