Thanks so much Brionne,  I have been on and looked at this 1939 census entry but
there is nothing for me to get my teeth into. Alice Phyllis was 16 on the 1911 census making her birth
c1895, and she was 21 at her marriage in 1915 making her birth c1894 - so a birth date of
either 1891 or 1896 is a bit out.  If this was her where was Herbert Rowland Hamilton? He doesn't
come up -and she lists herself as married.  Still very confusing as this one's occupation is unpaid
domestic duties - and the two blacked out names in Number 4 don't help much and you would wonder who is supporting her. I have been through all the Herbert Hamilton entries in the 1939 census again but none of these fit at all. He is not in the death records either.   I hope that one day all will be revealed but I am not holding my breath!!?!  Appreciate your efforts on my behalf.   Jill in Oz

Hello
I have just joined Rootschat and as I was looking for the Hamilton side I came across your query.
I am in NZ but my ex brother inlaw was a Hamilton from Oakham, and believe he is related to Arthur Ainsley Hamilton, I have just started to check this side of the family so wonder if there is a connection.
Cheers Carol

Hi Carol,

I am amazed that you have popped up with information after all this time.  My grandfather William
Ewart Hamilton was the first child and son of Arthur Ainslie Hamilton. The children had a rough
life and after their mother died and they moved back to Brighton and Hove, William migrated to
Australia as a young man about 1910 and apparently didn't have any contact with his siblings after this. He married twice here in Sydney and had two sons  one of whom was my father.
I have scads of information on the Hamiltons but was trying to tie up the "lost" brothers with Herbert R who seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.  I would be very pleased to receive any information you may have.   Jill in Sydney
