You really need "The Olivestob Hamiltons" book!
It follows the line you are researching from Olivestob to Nova Scotia to Waterford.
I am researching Rev William Fredric Tucker Hamilton.
He was the great great grandson of Otho who died in Waterford in 1770.
William was vicar of St John's Church in Woking, Surrey in 1880, raised the money to build Christ Church in the town centre, became the first Vicar of Christ Church, raised the money to build another Church to the east of Woking and bought the land and paid for the building of St Mary of Bethany Church also in Woking in 1907. phew!
My connection comes with deciding to write a centenial book for St Mary of Bethany for 2007. William Hamilton became a very interesting sideline which has now become my priority. I also found out that I am related!
Jan,how are you related?
