Hi
I saw your post because I am doing the Ancestry.com stuff. THis is freaky! My grandmother is Mary (Margaret) Hamilton (Gill- Maiden name) , she lived on Beeches Terrace as did several family members including your aunt Eddie.
Anyways, yes, Eddie was my grandma's sister. My grandma had four children (bio) David Hamilton, Mary Hamilton, David Hamilton and Kean (my father) Hamilton. They I guess would be your dad's cousins.
Your dad William Duffy, if it who I a thinking of, was adopted by my grandmother's sister Aggie (Gill) and her husband George O'Brien. As far as I know, he was not related to anyone in the family. My grandmother raised a couple children whom were not hers but they were related.
William Hamilton came to America with his wife Betty, their daughter Margaret and had Robert, David and Betty in the states.They live most their lives in Conneticut.
William (Bill) has passed away. Mary Hamilton passed away in Scotland. My father passed. David Hamilton is still living in Scotland.
Wow, so I hope this helps you. I am still trying to track down my grandmother's hertiage also. Oh yeah, the family was Catholic if that may help.
Regards, Rhonda
Hi,
I am new to this forum, I am needing some light shed into what I'm trying to find.
I have just started officially, I've asked my mum for some history in family tree but not so helpful so all I know,
My dad's name is William Duffy, he's passed away in 2002 - he was adopted so I'm looking to see in both areas of his family history. My dad was married and had a son called Paul Duffy then remarried to Elizabeth Murray and was known as Elizabeth McKillop and remarried with my father- William.
Aunt Eddie not sure of her surname think its Gill
Mary Hamilton who lived on Beeches Road
David Hamilton - sisters with Mary Hamilton, I believe he's still alive
Beth - unknown surname
Also some of the family would be living in America and New Zealand.
I am trying to shed light on this family tree and seems harder than I thought!
Hope somebody can help me find some tracks to focus on as it's a bit messy!
