This might be the death of John Hamilton in 1882 at Derryneill, Drumgooland.

I've been trying to locate John Hamiltons (Abt 1810 to 1882) wife over weekend. No luck so far as quite a lot of males by this name.

Also would Theodisia Hamilton (1851 to 1934) have a birth certificate or baptism record anywhere? I've searched but can't find anything?

Also would Theodisia Hamilton (1851 to 1934) have a birth certificate or baptism record anywhere?

Civil registration of births started in Ireland in 1864. So, before that date, baptisms in church records (if they are in existence) will need to be found, and you will need an idea of location.

Since Theodosia married in a Presbyterian church, she was likely to be of that religion. Early Presbyterian baptism records, if they survive, usually contain little detail, with the date & name of the child, sometimes father listed, and occasionally mother's first name. Occasionally the townland but usually not all in one entry.

Have a look for county Down church records in this PRONI document.
