MacMillan and Hamilton Family Information

[CNRINSPECTOR]

I'm looking for any information on the MacMillan family after 1966.  In 1966 David MacMillan lived with his daughter, Barbara at 8 Cassels Street in Motherwell.  An uncle, James Hamilton, also lived with them. 

Ellen MacMillan (nee Hamilton) was born about 1888 and died in 1960.  Her husband, Donald, also died in 1960.  I believe they had three sons, Robert (Bobbie), Donalad and David, referenced above. and Donald. 

I believe Barbara MacMillan and I share the same Great Grandmother, Agnes Hamilton.  Agnes Hamilton died between 1958 and 1960.

Hi, welcome to roots chat.
This site has a policy of not recording information on people who may still be living.
Members or yourself may be able to find death records on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (Free to search) but and indication of age or year of birth will be needed. For example there were 23 Agnes Hamilton deaths in Lanarkshire 1958-1960.

Welcome to RootsChat 

Just some notes:

Son David, this might be his death:

DAVID HAMILTON MACMILLAN
Age 79
Mother's maiden name HAMILTON
1986
570 / 228
Motherwell and Wishaw

Possible birth for him, registered as David Hamilton McMillan, mother's maiden name Hamilton in 1906 in Dalzie.

I did see a small family tree give son Robert's birth date as 19 May 1904 Motherwell. Marriage in 1928 to Margaret Murray Sneddon. Margaret Sneddon McMillan died in Motherwell & Wishaw in 1977, aged 68. A possible death for Robert McMillan in Motherwell & Wishaw in 1972 at the age of 68.

Could this be son Donald's birth?

DONALD MCMILLAN
Mother's maiden name HAMILTON
1910
639 / 156
Dalziel

A possible death entry that could connect to this birth:

DONALD MACMILLAN
Age 67
Mother's maiden name HAMILTON
1977
566 / 512
Bellshill

1921 general index and another son, Alexander, showing:

Donald 38
Helen 34
Robert 17
David 14
William 12
Donald 11
Alexander 7

A birth entry on the index that is likely this Alexander:

ALEXANDER WATSO(N) MACMILLAN

639 / 553
Dalziel

His death showing in Motherwell & Wishaw in 1985, aged 71.

...and I share the same Great Grandmother, Agnes Hamilton.  Agnes Hamilton died between 1958 and 1960.

Was this Helen Hamilton with her family in 1901?:

Agnes Hamilton 37 Sewing & Knitting b. Bothwell
Ellen Hamilton 13 Laundry Message Girl b. Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton 11
William Hamilton 9
James Hamilton 7
David Hamilton 3
Alexander Watson 46 Boarder Steel Works Stocktaker b. Bothwell

Address 62 Abbotsford Pl Calder St, Motherwell

Agnes Watson married Hugh Hamilton in 1882 in Holytown.

Her death I think looks to have been in Lanark in 1958 at the age of 86 (indexed as Agnes Watson or Hamilton). Original image of registration can be viewed on SP to confirm.

Thank you for the information.  I can confirm some of it is correct regarding the 1901 Census although I did not have the year or place of marriage for Hugh and Agnes Hamilton.  Best Regards
