Hi, my mum is Davey Hamilton's granddaughter. Would love for you to get in touch x
Tried to PM you but it wouldn't allow me.
Hiya - I understood that bit!! just was surprised that it left from the Gorbals, I just assumed he would have lived in the Calton area as that is where my mum and lots of my family lived, and I thought his fans would have been from there! Makes you proud to see it though wherever they left from - I wish I had known him, my mum said he was lovely... xxx
ahhh - I'd never even heard of a 'brake club' before today - shows what a phillistine I am! My sister said the photo looked too old to be the funeral! I am amazed at all the things I am finding out...
Not sure why it would have left from the Gorbals - my mum's family came from the Calton. I assumed that's where they all lived originally....
obviously I've still got a lot to learn...
Thanks again,
Regards,

I've heard this song sung by an elderly Celtic supporter who has so many stories about the hoops. I'll try to get a link for it. Might even get him to sing it and record it.
Thanks again Camillo.
My mum used to sing some Celtic songs - I've seen lyrics on another site for the '6 in a row' song but they weren't the lines mum taught us - no mention of wee Hammy - I think they must have lyrics from a later era! ! He was definately mentioned in that one!
Thanks to all who have contributed so far and look forward to gwetting in touch with more family members - this is the best (and friendliest) geneaology site I have ever found!!

Hello all,
Having had such luck (Hi Gabrielle!) with finding my relatives of Mirren Darragh on this site I have decided I am on a roll and will now try to trace any info. on my mum's mum's side. Her dad was Davie Hamilton - he played for Celtic between about 1905 and 1911. My mum always said he played for the greatest Celtic team ever!! He had five children - 2 boys and 3 girls ( I know the girls Nan, Jeannie and Mary - Mary was my grannie). I think one of the boys may have been Joseph? My great grannie died when Mary was about 3/4 years old. I know my family on Nan and Jeannie's side but would love to get some info and be in touch with any of the boy's families. Does anyone have any knowledge of them please. I will be forever grateful ( again :-) )
