I am looking for any relatives of my gg grandfather James Hamilton (b 1790/91 Newtonstewart) and his wife my gg grandmother, Patricia Babbington. They had a son, James Babbington Hamilton (b1841), who came to Australia.

Thank you,

Judy

  • James Hamilton seems to appear many times on the Griffith's Valuation usually as the landlord but also as a renter. There could be more than one person by that name. Some of the people he rented to are named McCrossan. My gg grandparents from Newtownstewart had a daughter who married into the McCrossan family.

    I didn't check all of them but I didn't see any actually in Newtownstewart.

    The parish to search in is Ardstraw. Some of the results that showed up were in other parishes.

  • Thanks so much drmorris. I have had a look at Griffith's Evaluation and found the correct James Hamilton I think. Hopefully I will find some other relatives.

    Thanks again.

  • Hi - I'm a descendant of James Babbington Hamilton. My mother's maiden name was Hamilton. She was the only child of James (Jim) and Eileen Hamilton. He had a brother Frank Gordon Hamilton killed in WW1 in France on 5 October 1918.

    We know very little of mother's family so any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hello Peter, 

    We are cousins. My great grandfather was James Babbington Hamilton, my maternal grandmother, Maud's father. I am actually hoping to travel to France later this year to see the area where our great uncle Frank died. 

    I hope we can get in touch further.
