Hello great uncle Colin, nice to hear from you and thanks for reaching out.

I am Laurene, Carolyn's daughter (as you properly already know). I've been researching the Hamilton family tree on & off for 5 years and it's such a big family with lots of history. I have a family tree and some pictures of the Mayor that were sent to me by Joe Hamilton who is the grandson of Joseph Hamilton, who was James' (Mayor) brother.

Does that mean your dad, my great-great grandfather James was High Sheriff, who also inherited the shirt factory? 

Best wishes, Laurene

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your recent message. Unfortunately I have been unable to reply to you directly, so that is why I am replying to your forum post. I think my mother 'Carolyn' may be your 2nd cousin.

Any information you have will be greatly received as I am really interested to know move of the family.

Do you know of Joseph Boyd Hamilton? (My grandfather and James Hamilton's son)

Hope to hear from you soon, and take care
Laurene

Good evening,

I'm trying to piece together my family history and would like some information about my Great grandfather of Londonderry 'James Hamilton' who ran the Hamilton Shirt Factory in Derry Londonderry.

I have done some research and I know that there was a James Hamilton who was Lord Mayor of Londonderry in 1927 and wondered if he was in relation to my GGF.


James Hamilton had 5 children: Alan, Ian, Joseph-Boyd (my grandfather), Colin and Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Hamilton was matron of Altnagelvin Hospital, Londonderry in the 60's

If anyone knows of any information that they could pass on, it would be really appreciated.

Thank you
