Notes
JUDITH HAMERS or HAMMERS 1673 -1742
Judith, daughter of Richard HAMMERS, was baptised at Spalding, Lincolnshire, on 13 September 1673. Richard HAMERS had married Judith LOCK at Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, on 13 April 1666/67.
The marriage of Judith or Judah HAMMERS to John THORPE has not been found. (John THORPE had land in Castle Bitham so they may have been married there, but the BTs for 1698-1699 and 1699-1700 are missing and the original register is apparently illegible).
John THORPE of Pinchbeck, yeoman, made his will on 7 January 1701. In it, he referred to Alice his daughter, under 21, and to Judah his wife who was pregnant. Witnesses were Judeth HAMERS, Elizabeth GULL, and Humfrye MARSTON.
