Did you have any luck tracing more of your family. I am related on the Hammond side. My great great grandfather was Mildred Lydia Knights Hammond's father and my great Grandfather's was her half brother.

Mildred's father William Charles Hammond was a Policeman born in Seething Norfolk and moved to Aldeburgh/Orford. His first wife Ellen Forder died young and he subsequently married Sarah Ann Knights, Mildred's mother (who also died young - again I think in childbirth).

I have a certain amount of info re the Griffiths side, but would not want to
replicate anything you may already have. I even found out today that the Griffiths lived at 49 Methuen Road Southsea and I believe the same building is still standing and can be viewed on google maps.

Kind regards
Claire Hammond

Hello: My name is David Vivian Griffiths. My father was Vivian Reginald Jack Griffiths, born in Essex circa 1902, and who served as a musician in The Royal Fusilliers circa 1915 to 1923. His father (my grandfather was one John Henry Griffiths who is said to have been a music teacher in Portsmouth in the late 1890s but who, unfortunately, jumped off a bridge when his wife died in childbirth . John Henry's father (my great grandfather) is said to have run a pub (?The Cross Keys) in, I believe, Southwold, Suffolk. My father's side of the family can loosely be traced back to farming folk on the Gower in Wales. It is also said that they had connections with the Coastguard service around East Anglia, The Mumbles in Wales and Cork in Southern Ireland during the early and mid 1800s. Any links with the other Griffiths out there, please?
