Armstrong HAMILTON
« on: Friday 21 January 11 21:30 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out about a Armstrong Hamilton b. 1856 who left England for Australia in 1890.


Could anyone find departure details and his route?

Many Thanks
NAn

I have no idea wher ein Australia he went , I can presume Melbourne as this is where descendants of his family lived.

I think he travelled alone but again I would'nt know.

Thanks nan

Hi Nan,

You can search for UK outbound passengers at http://www.ancestorsonboard.com/

RootsChat must deal with any breach of copyright by its members.

For some time the team of Copyright Editors has been removing breaches of copyright and sending detailed personal messages to the member that had posted the information.  Due to the volume of posts and members this is now impractical.  Messages in breach will simply be deleted and this notice posted.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused but are sure you will appreciate the importance of this issue.

Looking at a tree on Ancestry, this is his wife Elizabeth and daughter Frances.  Any of the Victorian birth certs for their later children should give you Armstrong and Eliza's marriage and birth details.

I am not sure whether you are interested in other aspects of the family, but there is a digitised WW1 records for a son of ARMSTRONG named HENRY EDWIN HAMILTON.

He enlisted aged 19 years in 1916 and was Plumber.
His father is his next of Kin with the Inkerman Rd  address given above.

He states mother deceased.

A later copy of his attestation form shows NOK has changed to wife, Mrs Hamilton of Nyah
