Hi Mary,
Hammer prgj means Hammer prestegjeld (parish). Have been mentioned Hammer and Hamre during the last 200 years. It was a smaller parish north from Bergen, including in the bigger parish,Bergen... Difficult to explain, sorry. Today Hamre is a part of the community Meland. Church records (kirkebøker)you'll find here :
