Thomas Hamilton/Helen McPherson, Paisley
« on: Tuesday 17 November 09 21:35 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Hamilton married Helen McPherson 31 July 1828 Paisley (Low Church). Thomas was born 1804. Believe Helen and children immigrated to Canada with Thomas to follow later. A daughter, Margaret Hamilton born 1832 in Paisley married Francis Hall in Canada. Believe this is the Francis Hall born in Clackmannan 19 May 1829. Does anyone have any info on these families?

Further to my first post. Thomas left Scotland for Canada abt 1844. Helen and children came to Canada abt 1846. Following are their children, all born in Paisley. Gavin b. 9 Dec 1828; John b. 31 Oct 1830; Margaret b. 1831 or 32; Martha b. 1835; Thomas b. 17 Apr 1836; Duncan b. 29 Apr 1838; Helen b. 1840; and Donald b. 1842 or 43.
