At the top of a 40' well, we have a check valve prior to pump.
With the check valve below the pump, can a hand pump be put on and used with
the electrci pump?

Probably, but you will need a check valve between the hand pump and the user
for the electric pump.

Yes. The idea is to get water with no power, at least cost.

Then my discription will work just fine, although I prefer my way, a
transfer switch on the power panel with a generator hooked to the
transfer box!!

Unless the water table is within 22 or so feet vertically of the hand pump, the
hand pump won't work.
