McHamiltons from The Shetlands

[whiteout7]

The son is M'Hamilton here:

 "The Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1883 - 1930)  Fri 17 May 1929

£300 for Broken Leg.— John Harold M'Hamilton, Hurstville, in the District Court yesterday secured £300 damages from Thomas J. Younger, railway employee, of Kogarah, in respect of a broken leg, received whenhe was run down by .Younger's motor-car while cycling along Forest -
Road, Hurstville, last August."

[Banks2233]

Yet another error, but it is him. Isn't it any wonder he was hit on Forest Road, I know it well and it's a very busy Road. I cannot believe you found the article, I've been searching through trove looking for marriage or death notices, nothing yet.

Out of pure curiosity, I did a search on SP for name John Harold & left surname blank 1869 - 1871

Only 2 have shown in whole of Scotland & both are Harold John 

CRAIG HAROLD JOHN 1871
570/ 9 Lochwinnoch (Renfrew)
   
ROSS HAROLD JOHN 1869
888/ 30 Kirkcowan (Dumfries & Galloway)

John Harold Hamilton appears to have been born outside Scotland or under a different name?

The marriage is the only possible way forward for his mothers' name (if the true info. was given).

I checked 1871 census (Shetland) for name Henrietta (Hetty), a few names show, one as a servant but no child with her & I can't see a 'fitting' John in other households.

John Harolds' age may be out from what OP has & if so, by how many yrs is unknown?

"This would/could fit for the birth of John James but won't help with birth of son John Harold?

HAMILTON JOHN JAMES
GEORGE HAMILTON/JANE GORDON FR391 (Parents)
19/05/1829
871/20 39 Kirkcudbright"


There are some notes that mention George Hamilton and Jane Gordon here, in relation to a Hamilton family in Maitland,  New South Wales, Australia.

Their birth records seem to be confusing too
Who knows if they are related to John Harold McHamilton

[Rosinish]

Annie, looks more like an affliction than a job! 

Maybe a foreign language  as in 1881 occ. is clearly "Agr. Labourer"

1871 (Transcribed as Hampton) on Anc* but a note by someone with name Hamilton

Address - Laight Cottage, Dalmellington, Ayrshire

John Hampton 32 (Occupation - Agnestlmae Sacona) 
Hellen Hampton 37    
Alexd Hampton 4    
John Hampton 2    
Thomas Marwell 17    
John Murphy 23    

Add, By 1901 John (2) is a Joiner & married to Jane living in Hutchesontown, Lanark 

1881 Family at same address with John now remarried

John Hamilton 41 (Agr. Labourer)
Jane Hamilton 40
Alexander Hamilton 14
John Hamilton 12
Robert Hamilton    9

1891 same address

John Hamilton 52 (Agricultural Lab)
Jane Hamilton 50
Robert Hamilton 19
Mary Hamilton 6

So whether this family is somehow related the the family Monica found in Shetland in 1881 is anyones guess but both families have a Kirkcudbright connection hence my posting as it may come in handy at a later date?

John Hamilton Sr. also b Kirkcudbright same as John James who was in Shetland!
