Hamilton's of Kingston

[KPM]

Hi

I'm revisiting a brick wall and wondered whether anyone can help.  I last posted about 8 years ago without much luck but am hoping with the new records available since, someone is able to help. 

George Hamilton married Sarah Bellamy, sometime between 1814 (when his first wife died) and 1820 (when he died).  All the information I have is taken from his Will.  He refers to 'his children' by Sarah, but doesn't name them and also refers to when his youngest child reaches his or her 21st birthday, so I'm assuming Sarah was expecting when he wrote the will.

It also makes reference to Sarah's first husband - George Bellamy - and talks about not paying her annuity should George 'return and in any way interfere with Sarah'.

However, I cannot find a marriage record for George and Sarah, nor can I find any baptism records for any children, or any record of death for Sarah.

I have found baptism details for Hester and Eliza Hamilton, both baptised in KOT in 1818, one born 1818, one 1817 so the dates match, daughters of George Hamilton - Gardener (which matches) and Hester.  It could be that Sarah is Hester perhaps, but I cant find any further reference to any of them.

If anyone can help me knock down even a small part of this brick wall, I would be eternally grateful

So 2 Georges at least around.

As divorce was unlikely at that time and Sarah was obviously not a widow if George was worried about her husband returning, then I doubt it was a legal or formal marriage, bore likely a defacto relationship.

Is this the Burial you have?

England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991
George HAMBLETON
Age 49, Birth c 1771
Burial 5 October 1820, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey
Occp Gardener

So 1st Wife was ANN?

Burial;

SARAH ANN Hambleton, Daug of George/Ann was Buried 8 Dec 1803

I wish you had told us sometimes the name is Hambleton before

If Sarahs Husband George was around in 1820 then George/Sarah would not have been able to Marry, correct?
