Name - "official" name and what they were known as
James Smith (possibly aka James Hammond)
Date and place of birth
30/11/1869 - Hampstead Norris, Berkshire
Names of parents
Sarah Smith (and possibly Thomas Hammond. Sarah and Thomas married and had 10 children together but I have been unable to find out whether Thomas was James's father)

Details of each of his or her marriages - if any
04/02/1893 to Jane Liddiard - Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Hungerford
Occupation(s) - if any
Engine Driver
Military service - if any
He was in the Royal Berkshires and aunty thinks he saw action. I've got a picture of him in uniform but have not been able to find any military service. I think he would have been too old for WWI but the right age for Boer War.
