For Alice Maud Hammer (1897–1898)

Hammer, Alice Maud, F, Joseph HAMMER, Isabel BURNETT, Southern Cross, 1897, -, 4003, 1897

Corrects 'Auce Maud' (likely an OCR misread) to 'Alice Maud'. BDM birth record confirms parents and matches the existing 1897 birth year.

For Charles Henry Hammer (1909–1909)

Hammer, Charles Henry, M, 6 days, Joseph HAMMER, Isabel BURNETT, Southern Cross, 1909, Yilgarn, 7000003, 1909

Resolves earlier concern about this person colliding with an older sibling of the same name - BDM confirms this Charles Henry Hammer is a distinct, separate infant, correctly a child of Joseph Jr.

For Alice Roberts (1887–1975)

Hammer, Alice, F, 86, William ROBERTS, Mary (UNKNOWN), Como, 1975, Perth, 102237, 1975.

Como is a Perth suburb; no existing place record for it yet, so left as a citation-only detail rather than forcing a placeId. Father William Roberts matches exactly; mother recorded only as 'Mary (UNKNOWN)' here versus 'Mary Ann Simmons' already in the tree - consistent with a partial/unknown maiden name capture rather than a conflict.

For John Hammer (1868–1912)

Hammer, John, M, 44, Joseph HAMMER, Lilian Catherine VESEY, Boulder, 1912, Boulder, 700155, 1912

Death index confirms parents Joseph Hammer and Lilias/Lilian Catherine Vesey; age 44 at death in 1912 implies birth 1868, matching WikiTree's 23 Jan 1868.

For John Edward Hammer (1918–1955)

Hammer, John Edward, M, 37, Herbert Victor HAMMER, Catherine Bridget GENTLE, Mandurah, 1955, Murray, 4700057, 1955.

Confirms his death: age 37, Mandurah 1955, reg. 4700057/1955, parents Herbert Victor Hammer and Catherine Bridget Gentle - consistent with a 1918 birth.

For Shirley Margaret Hammer (b. 1918)

Shirley Margaret Hammer, b.1918 Kalgoorlie, reg. 1800177/1918, father Alfred Ernest Hammer, mother Caroline Mary Shepherd - see the existing citation on family 32412 noting 'Dalice' and 'Caroline Mary' Shepherd appear to be the same woman recorded inconsistently across records.

For Patricia Mary Hammer (b. 1923)

Hammer, Patricia Mary, F, Not born alive, Stanley Joseph HAMMER, Alice ROBERTS, Southern Cross, 1923, Yilgarn, 7000009, 1923.

'Not born alive' on the registration - a stillbirth, not a death after live birth. Recorded here as a birth-only entry with no death date, per the source's own framing.

For Jack Hammer (b. 1918)

Hammer, Jack, M, Ernest HAMMER, Carrie SHEPHERD, Kalgoorlie, East Coolgardie, 1800449, 1909.

Recorded on his own birth registration as son of 'Ernest Hammer' and 'Carrie Shepherd' - almost certainly the same couple as Alfred Ernest Hammer x Dalice/Caroline Mary Shepherd (family 32412), based on a full search of the WA Shepherd marriage index turning up only one Shepherd-Hammer marriage (Dalise Shepherd x Alfred Ernest Hammer, Kalgoorlie 1906) and no second Shepherd sister marrying any Hammer man. Treated as 'Ernest' and 'Carrie' being informal shortenings of Alfred Ernest and Caroline Mary/Dalice, not a separate couple.

For Adelaide Charlotte Hammer (b. 1925)

Hammer, Adelaide Charlotte, F, Harry HAMMER, Vera MCDONALD, Tambellup, 1925, Plantagenet, 5400027, 1925.

Child of Harry Hammer x Vera McDonald - that family (fam_harry) was created in proposal #813, still pending moderation, so this cannot yet be formally linked as their child via family.addChild. Once #813 is approved, a small follow-up will attach her.

Also a child of Phillip Roy Hammer x Mabel Olive Smallwood (fam_roy, pending in #813) - born Tambellup 1924, died Katanning 1925 aged 18 months. Link deferred until #813 is approved.

For Louis Hammer (d. 1927)

Hammer, Louis, M, 65, Joseph HAMMER, Eva WOOD, Perth, 1927, Perth, 100889, 1927.

An entirely separate, unconnected Joseph Hammer to any already in the tree - born too early (implied abt.1862, from Louis's death record) to be Joseph Hammer Jr, and his wife's name (Eva Wood) doesn't match Joseph Hammer Sr's wife (Lilias Catherine Vesey).

For Victor Hammer (1905–1970)

Hammer, Victor, M, Louis HAMMER, Ellen SELLER, Subiaco, 1905, -, 6438, 1905 (birth); Hammer, Victor, M, 65, Louis HAMMER, Ellen SELLER, Hollywood, 1970, Perth, 101700, 1970 (death, age consistent with the 1905 birth).

For Jane Williams (d. 1914)

Hammer, Jane, F, 50, William Geen WILLIAMS, Mary RICHARDS, Dongarra, 1914, Irwin, 3300006, 1914.

This Charles Henry Hammer is otherwise unconnected to the tree, but his surname appears once as 'HANMER' rather than 'HAMMER' on his son's 1921 death record (with wife's name spelled 'Jean' rather than 'Jane') - almost certainly the same man, name recorded inconsistently. Her own death record (1914, Dongarra) means she cannot be the mother of Winfred (b.1925) - that's a second wife, Sylvia Annie Moore.

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 Gertrude Mabel Hammer (d. 1960)

Hammer, Gertrude Mabel, F, 53, William Arthur SHEPHERD, Edith Emma STEVENS, Perth, 1960, Perth, 101328, 1960.

Married surname Hammer, birth surname Shepherd (a different Shepherd family to the William Arthur Shepherd not appearing in the 54-marriage Shepherd index already searched) - spouse not identified in this record.

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, Elizabeth, F, 68, James MORGAN, Betsy UNKNOWN, Queen's Park, 1937, Canning, 1400006, 1937.

Elizabeth's own death record (age 68, 1937, Queens Park) gives her parents as James Morgan and Betsy Unknown.

For Grace Gentle (d. 1966)

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.
