For Winfred Vesey Colemoore Hammer (b. 1925)

Hammer, Winfred Vesey Colemoore, M, Charles Henry HAMMER, Sylvia Annie MOORE, Dwellingup, 1925, Murray, 4700023, 1925.

FLAGGED: 'Vesey' as a middle name is very unlikely to be coincidental - Lilias Catherine Vesey is Joseph Hammer Sr's wife, the founding couple of this whole project's main Hammer line. This is the strongest hint yet that this otherwise-unconnected Charles Henry Hammer cluster may in fact descend from Joseph Hammer Sr, possibly via his son Charles Henry Hammer (1864-1937) or another line entirely. Worth a dedicated follow-up search before assuming any specific link, since the connection could run through several unknown intermediate generations.

For Mary Jane Fields (d. 1937)

Vesey, Mary Jane, F, 86, Henry FIELDS, Harriet BOOTH, Narrogin Government Hospital, 1937, Williams, 6700039, 1937.

Her own death record names her parents (Henry Fields, Harriet Booth) and gives her age as 86 in 1937, implying birth abt.1851.

For Alexander Veseys (d. 1926)

Vesey[s], Alexander, M, 71, Robert VESEYS, Vera ROBERTSON, Claremont, 1926, Perth, 101064, 1926.

Surname consistently spelled 'Veseys' with a terminal S in both records, distinct from every other 'Vesey' entry in this batch - kept as its own family rather than assumed to be a spelling variant of the main Vesey name, though the two are obviously related surnames.

For Darinda Emily Williams (b. 1919)

Williams, Darinda Emily, F, David Nannup WILLIAMS, Emily JONES, Dongarra, 1919, Irwin, 3300005, 1919.

Found while searching the Dongarra/Irwin district for Jane Williams (Charles Henry Hammer's first wife, who died Dongarra 1914) - no direct evidence connects this family to her, and the father's name pattern ('Nannup', a WA place name used as a middle name) suggests this is an unrelated Aboriginal or mixed-heritage Williams family in the same district. Added per Helen's standing instruction to include everyone, not because a connection is confirmed.

Gentle, Susanna [Bailey], F, 78, Job BAILEY, Sarah Ann LUSCOMBE, Quellington, 1934, York, 7100021, 1934.

Gentle, Grace, F, 70, Edward WILKES, Sarah (UNKNOWN), Guildford, 1966, Perth, 101417, 1966.

Died 'near the railway line between Meadow Street level crossing and Guildford railway station, Guildford' - again an unusually specific description suggesting an accident.
