HAMMER | Lillias Cath | Death | <Unknown Family Name>, Lillias | BLYTH | <Unknown Family Name>, Vesey Jas Pat | Ballt | | | 54 | 1901 | 8322/1901

Victorian BDM index (source 1719, VIC-BDM-3.md). Mother 'Lillias' nee Blyth matches her recorded mother (81803). CONTRADICTION FLAGGED, NOT RESOLVED: father given as 'Vesey Jas Pat' (James Patrick), not 'John Hester Vesey' as recorded on her family-32573 link -- an unreconciled discrepancy that echoes the one on person 81578's own death record above; her father link (81802) is NOT changed. District 'Ballt' (Ballarat) is not treated as contradicting her already-recorded death place Sebastopol, a locality within the Ballarat district; deathPlaceId unchanged. Age 54 in 1901 is consistent with her recorded 1846 birth year.

Victorian BDM historical index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Family name | Given name(s) | Event | Mother's name / Spouse's name | Mother's family name at birth | Father's name | Place of birth | Place of death | Spouse at Death | Age at Death | Reg. year | Reg. number — the blank columns are blank on the row. The bride-side twin reads 'FINCH | Jane Sarah | Marriage | GRENENGER, Winzel | | | | | | | 1880 | 4110/1880'. Read in Chrome by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07; the transcription is theirs. This resolves a documented nil: no NSW marriage exists for them under any spelling 1855-1899, and a search of NSW brides named FINCH Jane 1875-85 returned nothing. Marriage to a deceased wife's sister was legalised in Victoria in 1873 and in New South Wales in 1875; the couple married in Victoria in 1880, the year after Harriet Mary Finch died, and their eldest child Gertrude was registered at Canterbury, NSW in 1881.

Victorian historical BDM index (source 1719), fetched by the orchestrator in Chrome 2026-09-17/18. 'Chas' is the index's own abbreviation of Charles; 'Truda Eugene' omits the middle name 'Eileen' already recorded on the tree (Truda Eileen Eugene Elliott) — an index truncation, not a contradiction, left as-is. Reg. 2065/1926 confirms the marriage year exactly matches the family's existing 1926 startDate (previously WikiTree-only, quality 1, citation #57932); this upgrades that to a primary quality-3 record.

For John Hammer & Ellen Ballinger

HAMMER, Jno Jos [John Joseph], Death, Mother: Ellen BALLINGER, Father: Hammer Jno, Place: Preston, Age at Death: 42, Reg. year 1909, Reg. number 10242/1909.

Both records name the father as 'Hammer Jno' (John Hammer), but the mothers differ - Elizabeth Cock/Cox for Joseph Hammer Sr, versus Ellen Ballinger here. Since John Hammer Sr (Joseph's father, already in the tree) is recorded as dying in 1861, he cannot be the father of a man born abt.1867 (implied by age 42 at death in 1909) - so this is almost certainly a different, unconnected John Hammer, not John Hammer Sr under a second marriage. Added as a standalone family per Helen's standing instruction to include everyone even without a confirmed link, since the shared father's name and Victorian location could still indicate a more distant relationship (e.g. a cousin also named John Hammer) worth investigating later.

For William Hammer & Elizabeth Jane Treloar

Children of William Hammer and Elizabeth/Eliza Jane Treloar (Ballarat/Stawell/Pleasant Creek, 1872-1882): Maria Alfred[a] (9 months, d.1872, reg.8581/1872), Jane Frances (8 months, d.1878, reg.12235/1878), Albert Henry Treloar (3 months, d.1881, reg.5516/1881), Ernest Varcoe (4 months, d.1881, reg.5541/1881), Jane Frances (5 months, d.1882, reg.13442/1882 - a second daughter given the same name after the first died), John (age 11, d.1882, reg.7152/1882).

UNCERTAIN whether this William is Richard Hammer Sr's son William (1846-1896, added bare with no spouse in proposal #806) - the birth year matches exactly and the family's known Ballarat/Stawell/Pleasant Creek locations fit, but nothing here directly confirms it beyond the coincidence. Two (Albert Henry Treloar and Ernest Varcoe, both dying within days of each other in 1881 at 3-4 months old) may well be twins.

For Henry Hammer & Emma Grange

Children of Henry Hammer and Emma Grange (recorded once as 'Grangey', Eaglehawk, Victoria): Jane (age 3, d.1876, reg.1383/1876), William (age 26, d.1877, reg.10791/1877, implying birth abt.1851), James (age 23, d.1878, reg.11825/1878, implying birth abt.1855).

This is the previously-bare 'Henry Hammer (1800)' - one of John Hamer and Loveday Clemo's children (the 'great-aunts/uncles' generation flagged as needing detail since early in this project), now given a wife and three children found via Victorian BDM.

Albert Ernest Hammer, mother Elizabeth Jane Luke, father Philip, Stawell, age 4, d.1882, reg.7142/1882.

Roda Maria Hammer, mother Elizth Jane Luke, father Phillip Hy, Ballarat Hospital, age 13, d.1898, reg.5735/1898.

CORRECTIONS to proposal #813's 'phillip_sr' record: his own death record gives age 47 in 1893, implying birth abt.1846 - not abt.1850 as previously estimated. His death place is Ballarat East, Victoria - not St Austell, Cornwall, which was mistakenly carried over from his birthplace in #813.

Chas Gordon Hammer, mother Mary Jane Evans, father Alfred, Eaglehawk, 5 months old, d.1895, reg.13026/1895.
