Trying to trace half sister who emigrated to N>Z> in the 60's. Her name was Martha Hamilton and she married a guy called (*) Martha is now deceased. I know its a long shot, but I'm sure they settled in Hamilton. Her dad was also my dad and his name was Robert Hamilton who, was born @ 8, Ann Street, Cowcaddens Glasgow.
His dad's name was John Hamilton and his mother was Margaret (nee Nicolson) and, she was born in 1872 in Dalmeny, Linlithgow, Scotland. Her parents' were Angus born in or around 1841 in Sleet, Inverness and, Margaret (nee Smith?) born in Kirknewton, Edinburgh, Scotland in or around 1845. Any help with this mystery would be great. Regards Susan Hamilton.

Sorry, I don't have a clue what Martha's married name was. My Dad is dead now too and, also my sister that would probably have known it. Regards. Susan Hamilton

Hi Riley. I'm sure Martha got married in London and, her first child was born there. Her married name was Richards. I have been given 1982 as a possible death year for Her. Her oldest son is in the forces in New Zealand. As far as I know he as a daughter,
Susan.
