I have hit a brick wall with my Cowley family research - all to do with finding my paternal grandmother - EMILY MONICA HAMMOND.
Emily married ALFRED COWLEY at St Stephens Cathedral Brisbane Qld Australia 17th December 1919.
At that time, Alfred had stated that he was a Widower - I have yet to find out what happened to his first wife - EMMA HUGHES.
Alfred immigrated to Australia in November 1915 on the ship ORONTES (the passenger list shows his status as being Single. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces 24th July 1916, and gave his status as Married, with his next of kin as Mrs Emma Cowley (wife) - 45 Maple Street Hollinwood Lancashire. The address matches that on the marriage certificate of Alfred and Emma.
Emily was supposedly born about 1898 in Townsville Queensland - her parents being WILLIAM HAMMOND and KATE WILLIAMS.
On Emily's death certificate, her parents are shown as GEORGE HAMMOND and KATHARINE DOMMANESQ.
To add further confusion to my research, her sister ALICE HAMMET (surname could have been recorded incorretly)had on her marriage certificate, parents names WILLIAM HAMMET and KATE JOHNSON.
Alice's second marriage to HERBERT HOLDEN has her parents as WILLIAM HAMMETT and CATHERINE DAMMONS.
Can anyone help me - I am unable to find any record of the name DAMMONS and DOMMANESQ.
