Hamilton/Mateer in Belfast

I have a Hamilton family of John and Mary

nee Mateer/McTier who were born about 1800

and who had 10 children there between 1826

and 1842.  The first two were baptised in St

Annes and the remainder in Fisherwick

Presbyterian. My ancestor was a William born

1836 who became a schoolteacher who was

schooled in Belfast and then had his formal

education in Edinburgh commencing in 1851.

I do not know which school in Belfast he "trained"

in. I have not been able to find any of his 9

siblings or the birth of his parents.
