Canada / Re: Herbert Rowland Hamilton- did he migrate to Canada
« on: Sunday 20 November 16 00:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Carol,

I am amazed that you have popped up with information after all this time.  My grandfather William
Ewart Hamilton was the first child and son of Arthur Ainslie Hamilton. The children had a rough
life and after their mother died and they moved back to Brighton and Hove, William migrated to
Australia as a young man about 1910 and apparently didn't have any contact with his siblings after this. He married twice here in Sydney and had two sons  one of whom was my father.
I have scads of information on the Hamiltons but was trying to tie up the "lost" brothers with Herbert R who seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.  I would be very pleased to receive any information you may have.   Jill in Sydney

Thanks so much Brionne,  I have been on and looked at this 1939 census entry but
there is nothing for me to get my teeth into. Alice Phyllis was 16 on the 1911 census making her birth
c1895, and she was 21 at her marriage in 1915 making her birth c1894 - so a birth date of
either 1891 or 1896 is a bit out.  If this was her where was Herbert Rowland Hamilton? He doesn't
come up -and she lists herself as married.  Still very confusing as this one's occupation is unpaid
domestic duties - and the two blacked out names in Number 4 don't help much and you would wonder who is supporting her. I have been through all the Herbert Hamilton entries in the 1939 census again but none of these fit at all. He is not in the death records either.   I hope that one day all will be revealed but I am not holding my breath!!?!  Appreciate your efforts on my behalf.   Jill in Oz

As discussed I did send for the only Herbert Hamilton Civil Death Record in England which
fitted the right age for my Herbert, and was in an area (Fulham) where he may well have
lived but once again it was not my Herbert. Yet another dead end.  I do think he migrated
somewhere with his wife Alice Phyllis but so far no real links.  Thanks everyone for your
suggestions and contributions.

Thanks Jacquie,  The 1911 census was filled in by the householder, who in this instance had been
born in London.  I think he should have Bermondsey right, but probably wouldn't have a clue
about Scotland.  Alice Phyllis is a real problem. No birth, no death and nothing in the 1939
census either.  I have sent for a Death Cert. for a Herbert born 1892 but am not holding my
breath hoping for answers on what happened to him.  No Alice deaths seem to match in England
and Wales.

Regards, Jill on Oz

Sorry about the census, I hope I have removed it. It is for Hove, Sussex and shows a 16 year old
Alice Burleigh, a Nursemaid and domestic worker, born London Bermondsey, working for Frank
Derbyshire, a Boarding House Keeper. No more to go on sadly.

Hi Sandra

Herewith the Marriage Cert of Herbert Rowland Hamilton and Alice Burleigh.
Doesn't help much.

Hello Sandra and Johnhood,
Thanks for the suggestions.  I will append the 1911 census, which shows the details of
Alice P's place of birth.  I will also append the marriage cert. on another post as it is
seeminly too big to add.

Regards

Thanks so much Manawakian,

I have also gone through it with a fine tooth comb and can't find anyone who fits
either party, but a second pair of eyes is very helpful.
Looks like I will have to try other obscure countries.  He had an uncle in Chile!?
with a business.  Perhaps he went to join him.

Hi Jacquie

I agree it is odd - normally freebmd is very accurate. I didn't think of going to Family Search.
I intend to apply for the cert. although I don't think I will learn much. Oh for an Aussie death
cert. which is so full of useful information.
Thanks Again

Jill
