William was single, perhaps moved from lodging house to lodging house - a roomer.

The address he was going to was 1633 American Long beach California.

In 1955 a guy called Bob Ballack started a car business at Harbor Lincoln/Mercury at 1633 American Ave., just a block up from Salta Pontiac and Beryl Berry Plymouth and tons of used car dealers. It was truly Automobile Row all the way to Willow Street.

Long Beach, City Directory, 1955 - William Hamilton - salesman - Salta Pontiac - h538d Locust   ???

Perhaps it should say son of ..................and that is his father.
Although we know William Hamilton Snr was in Moose Jaw 1927 until possibly 1947 and then in Vancouver for B C Telelphone Co, before he passed in Nanaimo.

 So I assume that william would probably have settled down in that area until his death.
  i am struggling to find any thing on the son he mentions.  How was he staying with as he would only be about 8-10 years old. I have nothing coming  up with that address.

He met her in italy and brought her and billy back to canada [gene] He also had 3 daughters, Paris, Mechelle and rhena  They were the daughters of uncle willy and jennie. Uncle willy was living in los vegas when he passed. Not sure of the date.  He had as far as I know 2 other wives [1st]Moira whom I never met, they had a daughter arleen who passed in 2004 and blanch she I was told was a model.
