Hi,
On 5th October 1864, my 3x great grandfather's daughter Margaret Price married one
Thomas HAMER. Thomas gives his father as Samuel HAMER, a labourer.
In the census of 1871 Thomas and Margaret are living in Bedwellty, MON and Thomas says he
was born in Nantmel. On 2nd September 1877, Thomas died of Typhus and in 1879 Margaret
married again to one Robert BUSH. Margaret and Robert with her 2 sons from the first
marriage (Samuel & Edward) emigrated to the United States of America.
I am now in contact with two members of the family there but no one knows anything about
Samuel HAMER the father of Thomas. I have not been able to identify Thomas (Born ca 1842)
with his family on either the 1851 or 1861 census.
Does anyone please have either any knowledge of this family or records for Nantmel
baptisms which might shed any light on Samuel father of Thomas?
Many thanks
Tricia Heseltine
