Thanks Sue!

I have located David and Cecilia’s marriage certificate on the WA BDM and will try and get a copy of that.

As far the the death certificate I’m not sure what type of information they would have for Cecilia.

Thanks for the information on Ronald! I will check out that record!

I have their names, and I know one of her sisters personally as my gran and her kept in touch, one of the brothers I know of has passed but Ihave some information on his children and can get in touch with them, however I know Cecilia was a mystery to them too!

There were twin sisters and they were adopted so wouldn’t really know where to start with tracking them down and if they would even want to be tracked down…

Also really good to know about Ronald because I was really starting to wonder what happened to him!

Wow I feel like this complete road block for my whole life is all finally getting somewhere! And mostly seems to be as a result of this site and some amazing people willing to help so readily!

Cecilia and David HAMILTONS daughter Yvonne is my grandmother (through my mother) She grew up in the ballarat orphanage, victoria, but never spoke about family other than a few of her siblings so I never knew anything more about my lineage. My mother doesn’t know much either. I would have disclosed this earlier but I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to.

I don’t know how people can just go about their lives being content without knowing this information! lol  ???

Thanks Sue! I went down a big rabbit hole yesterday after your help and I’m pretty sure Cecilia’s mother was born Florence eleanor SECKER in December 1886 to father James ford SECKER. Then I think she might have been married in June 1908 to a someone HANSEN before marrying Leonard GOVER in September 1918. I got most of this from the register lists and Ben websites though so cannot confirm without getting the certificates I suppose. I also seen something interesting on the NAA website you showed me on Leonard GOVER. The document of the war graves commission seems to list and F. E. Bowers from 306 Surrey Road, Kewdale WA as the next of kin listed as a “friend”. I looked into this but I think Florence passed in 1971 and Leonard seems to have passed in 1974.

Hi Sue! I did reply earlier today but it says it’s still waiting on a moderator to approve?

My message was “ Wow Sue you are a wealth of knowledge I will definitely look into all this! Thanks so much for your help, I’m like a newborn baby in terms of all these investigation stuff! I’m assuming Cissie is Cecilia?”

Oh maybe it is gover instead of glover, that probably marries up because I think I seen something somewhere else which indicated that Cecilia’s middle name was likely Florence. (So potentially after her mother?) I just wonder why they would print David’s name as Douglas instead of David? I should also try and check if I have a death date for David’s mother

Hi there. I’ve just registered today and really have no clue yet how to use this website. I believe I am a descendent of the David and Cecilia Hamilton that you are looking into whose children attended the ballarat orphanage. Did you happen to gain further information on Cecilia?
