Hamilton's of Comber

[americangirl]

My 2x great grandmother, Sarah Hamilton was born about 1843 in Comber.
In 1868 she married Alexander Thompson at 1st Comber Presbyterian Church.  I do believe that she had the following siblings, Samuel, Elizabeth, William , and Mary also all married at 1st Comber Presbyterian.  Sarah's father was John Hamilton of Cherryvalley Comber.  I am trying to find out the name of Sarah's mother.  Thankyou in advance for any assistance provided.

Sarah Hamilton was born well before registration of births started in Ireland (1864) so you'd need to search for church records of a baptism, however, if the Hamiltons were Presbyterian- many baptismal registers only list minimal details such as date of baptism, child's name and father's name so finding a baptismal record doesn't always mean you will find the mother's full name or even her Christian name.

George and Aghadowey,
Thankyou for your response.  I have used emerald ancestors, and ancestry ireland, that is where alot of my information has come from, along with family information.  I'm just hoping somebody may recognize the name and I may get a lucky hit.  I guess I'll keep digging, this never gets old.
Thankyou
Kitty
