Hi Jamie
Grandma and Grandpa had a 3 daughter Margaret. She was born after they moved to Sask from Scotland. I think she was born in Swiftcurrent Sask and she died in the early 70's. My Mom [Elizabeth] was the last Hamiton on our side to go. She died this march. I'll try to dig up more info for you.

Hi Peggy,
My name is William Paterson,Jamielees is a cousin of mine on another side of the my family,and she has been helping me with my Canadian side of the family. Your Grandmother was my father's aunt. Which makes us 2nd cousins. I now that your grandfather was a policeman in Scotland,and i have been trying to find out which police force you grandfather was in when he went to Canada. Going by the shipping records he was to report to the Toronto Police headquarters. So Hopefully you will be able to finally help to fill in that side of the family.
There is also another side of the Paterson Family in Canada. Your granmothers cousin Elizabeth Young Paterson also emigrated. She married Frank Mclauchlin and they stay in Hamilton. I have a lot of information on the Paterson side of the Family as I have been at it for several years now.

Hi, my name is Michelle Hamilton. William Hamilton was my Grandfather and his son, William Hamilton, my father. My father was William Hamilton's eldest child. Both are deceased now. I too have been trying to locate information regarding my grandfather and father. Peggy is my cousin of which we just connected after her mother's (Elizabeth) passing 2010. So I guess that means we too are cousins. I am very interested in sharing information and getting acquainted. I live in the USA.

Unfortunately none of those that replied have been on the site for sometime. Cosmac was a researcher trying to help with the original question.
If you have a question then please ask, always someone willing to help on this site.

Hi again Sandra, thank you for your response. This is yet another thread of research about by father and grandparents (William HAMILTON b. 12-29-1918; William HAMILTON b. 1-30-1869; Margaret ROBERTSON PATERSON HAMILTON b. 5-19-1897). I am amazed that there are several people on here looking for my immediate family. Sadly most all are older posts. Is my only option is to post and keep my fingers crossed someone may respond or do you know of a way the I could directly contact these folks based solely on their usernames? Thank you again Sandra.
