look up for lost Scottish family.

[susanhamilton]

Trying  to  trace  half  sister  who  emigrated  to  N>Z>  in  the  60's.  Her  name  was  Martha  Hamilton  and  she  married  a  guy  called  ^(*) Martha  is  now  deceased.  I  know  its  a  long  shot,  but  I'm  sure  they  settled  in  Hamilton.   Her  dad  was  also  my  dad  and  his  name  was  Robert  Hamilton  who,  was  born    @  8,  Ann  Street,  Cowcaddens  Glasgow. 
 His  dad's  name  was  John  Hamilton  and  his  mother  was  Margaret (nee  Nicolson)  and,  she  was  born  in  1872  in  Dalmeny,  Linlithgow,  Scotland.  Her  parents'  were  Angus  born  in  or  around  1841  in  Sleet,  Inverness  and,  Margaret (nee  Smith?)  born  in  Kirknewton,  Edinburgh,  Scotland  in  or  around  1845.   Any  help  with  this  mystery  would  be  great.  Regards  Susan  Hamilton.

Hi Susan, Did Martha and Wally marry in NZ or Scotland, I presume you don't know his surname otherwise you would have listed it ? His surname /her married name would help.
Regards Colin

Sorry,  I  don't  have  a  clue  what  Martha's  married  name  was.  My  Dad  is  dead  now  too  and,  also  my  sister  that  would  probably  have  known  it.  Regards.  Susan  Hamilton

Hi Susan
Shame about that,
How about place of Marriage and maybe a Marriage year date, even date of first child birth as a clue, may take some time but can check a few paper based listings I have and may come up with something. Can't guarrantee anything but will give it a go

Cheers Colin

Hi Susan,

You mentioned that Martha HAMILTON had died? Do you know approximately when?

It might be worth trying the Hamilton Branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists. Provide as much detail as you can.

Hi  Riley.  I'm  sure  Martha  got  married  in  London  and,  her  first  child  was  born  there.  Her  married  name  was  Richards.  I  have been  given 1982  as  a  possible  death  year  for  Her.  Her  oldest son  is  in  the  forces  in  New  Zealand.  As  far  as  I  know  he  as  a daughter,
Susan.

I'm  sure  Martha  got  married  in  London  and,  her  first  child  was  born  there in  1959/60.  Her  married  name  was  Richards

If Martha Hamilton's married name was Richards could this be her marriage to Walter E T Richards?
