Hi
I am researching the HAND family originally of Narberth, Pembrokeshire. The earliest
record I have is William HAND born about 1798. He was married to Elizabeth CUMMING and
they had at least 3 children - Thomas HAND (1823), George Smyth HAND (1824, mariner,
emigrated to NZ and became a lighthouse keeper) and Eleanor Smyth HAND (1826). I have
found a William HAND (born about 1819 in Narberth, mariner), who may have been another
son. He married Margaret ? and their children were born in Llandysilio, Anglesey. William
and Margaret's children were: William HAND (1852), Jane Harriet HAND (1853), George
HAND (1856), Margaret HAND (1864), Robert HAND (1866, married Margaret Ellen JONES of
Corris, Merioneth, on 31 October 1892 at Manhattan, New York, U.S.A) and Mary Hill HAND
(1868).
Does anyone have any information on this family?
Regards
Paul Garner-Richards
