SummaryThe Hammond name appears in Tauranga from the early 1880s, though the records indicate more than one distinct family. One group, headed by James Hammond, arrived in 1885 on the Northumberland, settled at Welcome Bay, and became an established local farming family with several descendants in the district. Alongside them were other Hammonds, including Frederick Hamilton Hammond, a baker in Tauranga, and a Charles Hammond recorded as a farmer at Te Puke in the 1880s.SourcesLetter from Joan Walden to Jinty Rorke, 26 May 1983: » General and research correspondence, 1983, Ams 289/3/5Reply from Jinty Rorke to Joan Walden, 2 June, 1983: » General and research correspondence, 1983, Ams 289/3/5
