New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Search for Douglas William Hamilton
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 08:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi John

Thanks for that info. I did a little research on Douglas and Margaret and found a few newspapers articles, looks like it was annulled due to claims Margaret was already married. Are you descended from Margarets children prior to this ( apparently she had 3 when she married Douglas) or from her later marriage to Herbert Stubbington?
I recently purchased Douglas Williams death certificate from NZ archives hoping to clarify his DOB but unfortunately it was not recorded. The date I got was from family but it is simply word of mouth and I am not convinced enough to record it confidently. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a birth record for him on NZ BDM.
According to Douglas's death certificate he was married 3 times, twice after your grandmother.

Hi johnbarr

Not sure if you are still chasing this information, but Douglas William was born 24 Apr 1887 in Dannevirke and died 19 Apr 1958 buried in Hastings cemetery.

Douglas William is my 3rd great uncle. Was your grandmother Abigail Toamia?

I notice on NZ bdm records it has Mary Gertrude Campbell and Irene Celian Gertrude both born 1878.

Could they have been twins? I need to purchase Irene's birth certificate to clarify I think.

Thanks for your reply queenie.
My line is from Mary Gertude Campbell's sister Irene Celian Gertrude b 21 Oct 1878 d 30 Jan 1952. She married James Alexander Scully and had 17  children! The 4th was my grandmothers father Denis William Scully.
I have Charles Peter Sampson in my tree but I only have 1 child to Peter and Mary - which is your father Herbert b 1935. Who were the other 2 children?
I have done some extensive research on the Hamilton line via George Douglas and have been able to trace our line back to John Hamilton, Archbishop of St Andrews who at one point was Lord High Treasurer of Scotland to his brother James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran.
The Hamiltons were a very connected family and George Douglas's father William Hamilton was at one point esquire of Croft-an-Righ House which is a house on the outskirts of Holyrood Palace.
Do you have many photos of the Mary Gertrude Campbell or her family?
Did you end up getting much information from Cherrych regarding JWC Hughes?

Hi Queenie / Cherrych

JWC Hughes is my 4th great grandfather and his daughter Gertrude from his marriage to Sarah Ann Macdonald James is my 3rd great grandmother. I notice that queenie said she is also her great grandmother, I wonder how we are related?
Cherrych, I am not sure if you still get on here but I would love to find out more about the research JWC Hughes did on his genealogy.
If you get this message, could you please let me know as I would love to exchange details.
Regards, Greg.
