The Mervyn mentioned was Capt Mervyn Stewart of Martray, Ballygawley, Co Tyrone.

OK, thanks.  Was hoping he was the one who went N.Z.

Will leave it at that, so as not to mess up your thread!

Stay safe.

You're fine.... it's something on wjhamilton's site posted and I'd be going off at a tangent... a non-Hamilton one!

Does a sally Hamilton ring a bell? Tyrone Constitution 12 September 1902. i tried to attach the page  but it was too big. Is there another way to connect?

What did she do then?

Marry?

....or win Lottery?

Would anyone have access to the British Newspapers? Looking for the rest of these articles referring to Hamiltons of Martray.

Thomas Hamilton:
Tyrone Courier, Thursday 19 July 1900, Page 7/8
... Trusted Servant. On Sunday the remains of Thomas Hamilton, old and trusted servant, were buried in the Protestant graveyard. The funeral was largely attended. For number years (deceased) was employed at Martray by Captain Stewart (deceased) and was always ...
What graveyard would this be, Ballygawley or Ballyreagh Pres? Some of my Ballygawley relatives were buried in Ballygawley Graveyard.

Hi Hallmark

Thank you for the suggestions.

Yes, I have scoured those records and tracked ALL of the Hamiltons from the area. I am trying to determine more about their relationships which is why I was asking about the newspaper articles.

Any additional information will help....

P.S. I originally purchased transcripts of so many BMDs. I was thrilled when the digital images became available. I've spend endless hours pouring through them.


Oops, my original lengthy post with the attachments got deleted. I will leave them anyway. It is very late here...
