I think it’s the same family I’m trying to trace.  My great grandfather was a Charles Hamilton birth 1877, he had an older brother John, there  oldest sister was a Mary who I believe married a McIntyre he died after a year of marriage to Mary Hamilton on 1901 census Mary and brother Charles are living together and 1911, the ages are off but I believe this is them, the parents of Charles, John and Mary and others Rose been one of them of the top of my head were Daniel Hamilton and ? McLaughlin I’d need to look at my records as it’s been a while since I looked at them.  Charles went on to marry Mary Duffy in 1918 having 8 children Annie married name Kearney, Margaret Mary married name McLaughlin, Bridget married name Grant, William married a Mary Stewart, Daniel never married but had two children that carried the Hamilton name. There were also 3 children died  young Rose, Charles and Joseph.

Thanks for adding the links on the last you will find Charles marriage and his two daughters Annie and Margaret’s marriage William and Bridget and not on it yet you will also find deaths of Rose, Joseph and Charles, this family are mostly buried in Drung Chapel.  Charles Hamilton wife Mary Ms Duffy children Joseph, Rose, Charles and Dan are remembered on the one head stone but, the dates of death and ages for the 3 young children are different from the records, children Annie married name Kearney and Bridget married name Grant are also in this burial ground.
