Hi Gordon

I'm still trying to understand out how rootschat works!  I came across it completely by chance through a Google search for Muriel Johnston.  I can fill in some details about the Hamiltons.

I don't know anything about Victor's parents, but he was one of five siblings.

James, born 23/3/1902 married Nora Crichton.  James was a milkman.
Etta, born 5/8/1905 never married.  She died about 30 years ago, but I met her many times.  She lived in Belfast, then in Bangor Co Down.
Minnie, born 28/2/1912 married James Scott Foster on 28/7/1941 in Belfast.  The did not have any children.  We are related through a sister of James, Jane, who was my wife's grandmother.
Victor, for whom the only details I have are that he married Muriel Johnston in Canada and had a daughter Margaret.
Willie who married Iris and had one child, and then married Cissie West with whom he had no children.

James and Nora had five children.  Muriel, *, *, * and David.  Muriel married *, and when Muriel died he married *.  David died aged about 9.  I knew Muriel and we're still in contact with * and *. 

I don't want to put my e-mail address on an open site, but if you're happy to send me your address in a personal message I'll respond.

Ian

Then we are related because he married my great aunt, Annie.  8)
