My problem is as follows,hoping some kind person can break the impasse . My G/Grandpa Anthony Hamilton is recorded on his Marriage & all census records as having been born in Whitehaven in 1813 ( His father was also named Anthony). I have been unable to locate a birth cert. for him . I employed a researcher at the Whitehaven Records Off. for 1.1/2hrs who failed to locate any birth records for my Anthony . The only other Anthony in that time frame was , Anthony baptised in Holy Trinity ,Whitehaven ,19/6/1752, son of Isaac & Frances. !828 , Col. Anthony Hamilton , Roper St, Whitehaven . Lieut.Col.Anthony Hamilton , died,25/6/1830, Holy Trinity Church . My Query is , was this Anthony married & did he have progeny , As his father was a surgeon & my G/Grandad was initially a Medical student in 1841 ( but dropped out) in London ,which may have been a reason for not contacting his family later! if indeed they are his family ,they may have disowned him ? I hope someone can unearth a clue here, it would be most appreciated. Ron Hamilton ,Tokoroa, N.Z.

Hello Ron,
On the UK National Archives website, there is a will of an Anthony Hamilton of Whitehaven, dated 25 October 1830. The date is the date the will was proven I think, so fits in with the date you have for the death of Lt Col Anthony Hamilton. Downloadable for £3.50.

Welcome to Rootschat Ron and Alan 
There are a lot of Hamiltons listed on IGI in Whitehaven going back to early 1700s. There are a lot of Isaacs, but couldn't see your Anthony listed.
It's annoying when you can't get any further, hopefully his death cert will help, or the will that Alan mentioned.
There is a Hamilton Terrace, and a Hamilton Lane in Whitehaven - who knows, maybe named after one of your ancestors

Thank you Alan , that sounds a very interesting lead to follow & one I was unaware of . Rosemary too for your efforts. Re Hamilton Lane , one of those family legends when I was a child referred to an old will in the deed -box that mentioned a number of cottages in a Hamilton Lane , Whitehaven , unfortunately it had disappeared & I recall asking a ship-mate ,who came from Whitehaven if a Hamilton Lane existed, which he confirmed , this was before all this technology etc. when I didn't even knew my G/Grandfather came from there , the mystery thickens ! but intrigueing & thank you all again for your help . Ron Hamilton , N.Z.

Again I must apologize , The only information on the colonels will stated his estate was to be divided equally between his 4 children, Anthony ,Harriet Louise, Elizabeth, & Maria Frances , he was entrusting Elizabeth Spedding & John XXXX as guardians during their respective minorities , so presumably some were still children , I must thank Alan again for this deciphering of the will ,as its almost unintelligable to me ! Another coincidence to me is that my Anthony christened his daughter Maria Louisa ? Your supposition that the Colonel had been a travellor & retired & married late had occurred to me also as he had been with the Honourable East India Co , (Clive of India,s Co , & didn't he do well ?)

:)Geoff, I dont have immediate census access & I'm thrilled with your revelations ,but saddened about Harriets fate, the son Anthony does not appear to be in the locality in 1841 which gives credence to our Anthony who was in London in 1841( the census there states he was born out of county) , being the brother . I know all about him from that point on ,but at no point did he appear to contact ,to our knowledge, his family in Whitehaven . The fact that the girls dont appear on the IGI also doesn't make his absence seem so outof place now ! I cant express my appreciation sufficiently for any thing you can glean from the records to fill in the gaps because I'm convinced there must still be distant relatives in that locality still , now that I think we have made the link I am elated! Ron

Hello Ron,
Do you have copies of your Anthony Hamiltons marriage certs? He appears to have married twice, to Charlotte Yardley in 1845 and Mary Ann Yardley in 1857. Marriage certs usually give fathers occupation, as well as his name, even when deceased.
Alan.
