There is a HAMERSLIE listed in MS 223-54 Betham Will Abstracts Vol 6/page 266, 16/323. 24/123.  The Family History Library films you want are 0100104, 0100108 and 0100110.  

These are filmed by LDS (familysearch.org) from the Manuscripts in the Genealogical Office of the National Library and can be ordered on microfilm from Family History Library to view at FHCs.

A relative of mine - married a Hammerlsey and lived in Leinster in what is todays British Embassey country residence (not Dublin.)

My 3rd ggf Isaac Hammersley, b 1762, was said to have come to the Colonies with his brothers John, Andrew, Gordon, Abraham, Charles and Arrahan sometime before 1790. Gordon settled in New York, Abraham and Isaac went to Indiana in 1825.

Is there any way of determining where these earlier Hammersleys came from?

Having married Mary Hammersley I have traced the genealogy of the ancestral line back to Staffordshire in Uk.

3 brothers arrived in Ireland as Cromwellian horsemen and they went separate ways in 1650. One or two went to Antrim  and Robert settled in Tipperary namely in Cullen / Toome / Cappawhite. The ancestral burial home is Cullen graveyard. Robert operated out of Tipperary town British army barracks . His descendants as army personnel and gentry moved to Shinrone Co. Offally and subsequently to Dublin as a protection mechanism for its membership as Church of Ireland. "Safety in numbers" so to speak. Some went back to Staffordshire for education, marriage etc

Many became catholic through marriage and virtually all of the current Hammersleys in Tipperary  are catholic. see www.paxad.ie/clansearch.

Thank you so much! And thanks for the link as well - it will be perhaps the only way I (in California) can connect the two ends. My 85 year old mother Elaine Hammersley will also be excited to learn this chapter.
