John Hamilton's marriage certificate 1659160 | Ireland |
Patrick Hamilton, according to Griffith Valuation for 1858, had a farm plot 20 of about 11 acres in Milltown townland, Strabane. It remains in Patrick Hamilton's name until 1876. He probably died around that time. Then it was under William Hamilton's name, his son. The only thing we know about him is that he is mentioned as father on marriage certificate for his sons William and John..
William Hamilton married at Ardstraw Parish, Strabane, Fanny Given (father William Given) May 6, 1856 and died Ireland Jan 24., 1906. The farm then went to his son James Hamilton who died July 23, 1928. On the 1901 census we have William head, age 65, Fanny house keeper, age 56, James son age 30, Fanny daughter age 24 and Samuel son age 23.

Unfortunately we don't have much information about their life in Ireland beside the potato famine. We couldn't find any of these people on passengers lists.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
