I think your best course of action will be to buy the marriage cert. It will tell you his occupation, his age at the time, and his father's details. At present, you have no idea of when or where he was born.............where he married is not necessarily any guide to the birthplace. Reg

I keep coming back to this one on 1891 census - not found him yet on any earlier census or found a birth to match. Sorry if this seems a bit of a wild guess. 1891 image is clear as Hammond Name: Matthew J Hammond Age: 21 Estimated birth year: abt 1870 Relation: Son Father's name: Matthew Mother's name: Margaret Gender: Male Where born: Dover, Kent, England Civil parish: St Mary The Virgin Ecclesiastical parish: Holy Trinity Town: Dover County/Island: Kent Country: England Registration district: Dover Sub-registration district: St Mary ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Hammond 8 born Dover - grand daughter Margaret Hammond 62 born Dover Matthew Hammond 64 born Dover Matthew J Hammond 21 William J Hammond 10 born Dover - grandson Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 744; Folio 77; Page 34; GSU roll: 6095854 Maureen Bother will have to rule this out as found them on 1881 Maureen

Name: Matthew James Hurrill Year of Registration: 1871 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar DISTRICT: Dover County: Kent Volume: 2a Page: 887

Why cant I find him on any census???? he must be there somewhere?

he must hang on somewhere! either he is the father of... the son of.... the brother of.... SOMEONE! who is that someone??

Yes also think he married Bessie Found a Sarah Ann Kingsnorth (1868 Dover) with husband George on 1901 census Maureen

I htink it was Bessie he married, going to take dog out to try and clear my head, back soon. found abirth for Maud Hurrell 1893 which could be my grandmother although her name was Hammond but there is no birth for maud hammond............

Have you considered he might be a soldier. Maureen
