The Hamersley Family History

The Hamersley / Hammersley family came from Staffordshire and can trace their descent from a Hugo le Kinge who came from France in the early 1300's and settled at a place called Homersley from which his descendants took their name.

My particular line of Hamersley's trace back through the Stepney area of London, to the St. Giles in the Fields parish in West London and Turnham Green areas in 1791, with all direct male ancestors being named William (usually with a middle name of Henry).
