I was under the impression in my research there is a missing family link between Jerome Ham of Virginia and Jerome Ham of Bristol, England that the two were not one in the same but grandfather and grandson. I'd like to know if anyone else has any more information on there being two Jerome Hams with a familial relationshipstonyplaysthemambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863867842571649953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560678327616192443.post-47610729536804702562008-12-07T23:44:00.000-05:002008-12-07T23:44:00.000-05:00Hi Tanya, Well, good luck in Bristol.

He was Town Clerk for some 40 years, so his signature is all over the records at the Bristol Record Office. <BR/><BR/>The Britsol Record Office tells me that he looks to be new to the area in 1581, but there is a small town named "Ham" just north of Bristol.<BR/><BR/>However, I'd suggest St. Stephen's Parish records. Look for marriage record in 1598/99 to Elizabeth OLYVER, and perhaps burial record somewhere around 1630.<BR/><BR/>Looks like he had no children by Elizabeth, but an estate record might name some.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!<BR/> - Odon IVOdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554791797645838131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560678327616192443.post-46140059577022049432008-12-07T10:17:00.000-05:002008-12-07T10:17:00.000-05:00I am going to Bristol tomorrow for the christmas m...I am going to Bristol tomorrow for the christmas market and will check out to see if I can get any documentation while I am there on Jerome Ham.Tanya Scalettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866172093740249793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560678327616192443.post-70637181257378651832008-04-30T11:44:00.000-04:002008-04-30T11:44:00.000-04:00I answerd the poll questions from memory, not sure...I answerd the poll questions from memory, not sure how accurately I remember everything and unfortunately I can not use the books to answer correctly because I now live in Ireland and the books are on a slow ship over here - I don't expect to receive them before mid June. So sad, I would have loved the book for my nephew as I have the entire collection.<BR/><BR/>Tanya ScalettiTanya Scalettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866172093740249793noreply@blogger.com
