Hamil burials?

Wow

Yes this is the connection, I only discovered this week that Robert remarried an Elizabeth Ritchie and had more children.

Robert's son Edward moved to Armagh and married a woman called Rose Mackin in 1904, their eldest daughter Isabella was my great grandmother. Therefore making Edward my great, great grandfather and Denis my 3x great grandfather - although saying that my mum is still alive so not so many greats for her.

I found a military record for (young) Denis he served in 1896 different campaigns in Egypt and South Africa, he married a Margaret Keenan, they are in the 1911 census.

Robert's sister Isabella did she marry an Edward Devlin??

Still trying to find information on the older Denis and Isabella, have only found them in the 1851 census and know they had two daughters Ann and Rose and then their son Robert (who married Mary Shearer).

A photo would be great, thank you.  Do you know any death dates for the family or other marriages? Went to the GRO yesterday and couldn't track anything down for the sisters since I didn't know whether they married or not.

Thanks for getting in touch.  J

Hi
Yes Edward Devlin did marry Isabella. Here's the marriage certificate.

Where are you now (are we allowed to say), if not you can PM me with your details if you want.

Interested to see if we can track down info on Isabella (the older one) as she has given her name to lots of the family, including my daughter.

Isabella and Edward's family stayed in Belfast and most of us are still there.

I'm off home now, will log on later. I'll try and sort out the picture of Robert Hamill and scan it in tonight too (although might be a nightmare as we're moving tomorrow as luck would have it)

Good luck with the move. I live in Lurgan, so not far down the road. So who be good to try and track Isabella and Denis down.

Edward's children are all dead but a good few of the children are still alive and live in Armagh. Know what you mean about the name, I always though my granny was called Isabella but from doing the family tree Im finding it everywhere.

meant to ask is this where the J.G. Devlin (actor) came into the family, as my granny often mentioned that he was her cousin.

[BiscuitTin]

Hi J
Yes, JG Devlin was my Granda. He was Isabella and Edward's son.

[BiscuitTin]

Hi J
PMs on their way.

Hi,

My 2x great Aunt Agnes Mannion married John Hamil(l) in 1926... John Hamil parents are Denis Hamil and Margaret Keenan..
So we all could be related
