John HAMILTON 1804-1865

Hi Jamesnpaul,

Being Scotch and buried at East Taieri would suggest that the port of arrival for their vessel was Port Chalmers, Dunedin. This is also supported by your information that some of them lived in Dunedin.

The birth of the youngest child in Scotland in 1860 means that they emigrated after that date.

What else can you tell us about John HAMILTON? Do you know his occupation? Do you have his death certificate, for instance?

Another possible avenue to have a look at is the 'Otago Settlers Museum', now known as 'Toitu Otago Settlers Museum':

Hi James

There are at least ten trees for this John HAMILTON family on the ancestry website (... is one of them maybe yours ?)

Some contain a good deal of information.

When you say ... "I am trying to the the NZ ancestry for John HAMILTON" .... do you mean that you are wanting details for his children ... and their children ...

This death is a possibility for Joseph HAMILTON, born 1860.

Died 10.11.1926, aged 66 years.

Another Rootschatter may find the place of death........

There is a Dunedin (Palmerston) Probate filed 6 December 1926 for a Joseph Hamilton who was a Mill Owner.  Might help with location of death.

Hi Minniehaha,

Well, yes... but what I was referring to was that if the last-born child, Joseph, was born in Scotland in 1860, the family's emigration must have taken place after that year.

Well, I can't see a Joseph Hamilton 1926 on the Burial Locator, and yes, I had my glasses on, but possibly it is late at night for the brain to do exercises.   Wonder if getting the death notice, will help for the burial location for the possible Joseph Hamilton?
