Lanarkshire / Re: Davie Hamilton - played for Celtic !

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,

Do you know anything more about the middle photo of the funeral, like where/when it was taken etc?

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!!

Camillo - thank you so much for the photo's, I have seen the football ones but never his funeral - my mum was there and said it was an amazing turnout. It is so kind of you to pass on the information about him.
Hammyceltic - great to hear from you too!- we are distant relations and it's lovely that we are all proud of our heritage. Which one of Davie's children are you descended from? My granny was his youngest daughter Mary.
 I only wish my mum was alive to see all of this - she was a passionate Celtic supporter all of her life, and was always proud of her Glasgow roots.... she would be really pleased and I can imagine her singing her Celtic songs reading all this!!
Best Wishes to you all xxx

Thanks for this info. You have done really well finding all this out. I have been a wee bit cheeky and put the info. up on my family tree - I hope you don't mind! If you make one more post on here we can use the private message facility. I don't think we are supposed to put recent family details up but it would be good to know your name!! Whereabouts does your sister live - I am near  to the border of Oxfordshire (Thame area) and another 2nd cousin from my grandad's side (Mary Hamilton's husband) lives in Oxfordshire too - we got in touch via this site!  Did you post on the Celtic wiki site recently? it used to be called Kerrydale street - (there is some photos of Davie on there, match stats etc -)  because someone has posted on there - they are Davie's great grandson too!!! I sent them a message but haven't heard back yet. Speak soon (hopefully)  :)

ahh - thank you for that - I didn't know. I'll post the reply on here then!!
It's really good to hear from you - we are definately related then!! Thankyou for the information on my great grannie - I kniow she died when my grannie was about 4. I have a lovely photo of the 5 children taken in 1918 - I can send you a copy if you haven't got it already. I am going to do some research to see if I can find out where my great grannie came from. Did your part of the family stay in Scotland -we are in Buckinghamshire, England.
Hopefully we'll be able to chat more. It's great to be in touch.
