I have on later census Maria Frances & Elizabeth Hamilton stating place of birth as St Bees ,varying dates between 1819-1823 , & have exhausted my limited expertize trying to locate evidence of their births, baptisms, or the marriage of their father ,Anthony Hamilton , who was a notable person in that area,who married after his retiral from the Bengal Army in 1804 . I would dearly love some tangible evidence of anything re these events & be most grateful. Ron Hamilton . N.Z.
:-[Hi Geoff, Sorry if I appear time wasting but I have proceeded from that point you referred to & have a void in the area I outlined in this post with nothing definitive. I was hoping someone with more intimate local knowledge to help me. I sincerely appreciate the assistance I have had previously & hope I haven't offended anyone . Ron
It's just that the first thing people are likely to do is look for them on the censuses to get a "feel" of the problem, so I provided a link to that stuff.
