I was really sad to see it end but for me, it’s always continuing since Llewellyn was such a great record keeper. So while I don’t have an every day accounting of her life anymore, I am still finding little notes and letters that were left behind and hundreds of pictures!

Somehow I wasn’t expecting it to come to an end.

I am glad to hear she had a happy life with Bill.

It’s always so great to get a helping hand on the lines I know so little about. For some reason I wasn’t connecting that your Reverand Andrew was the only instance of that family in Kilmarnock! I always have so many of the same surname in the areas I’m searching I always figure I’ll end up with those people connected eventually.

P.S. Great image! I love placing faces with people! Thanks for sharing/indulging!

My computer files are a mess right now as I’m in the middle of organizing (go figure!) but I will send you the image files I saved if you’d like!

Regarding your comment “However, that doesn’t mean all these Hamiltons aren’t related by a further up connection. Remember not to discount anyone with a matching surname from the same area. This family could be the 3rd cousins of my family, or even just first cousins.”
Always a tantalizing possibility.
May I just note, I have the Rev. Andrew Hamilton’s line back to the end of the 17th century. This is largely thanks to Andrew’s son William (the original owner of the document cited above) who did some of his own research back c.1830′s, including recording some of the things his Father told him about his parents and grandparents. Lucky me.
Anyway, beginning with this info. i have been able to confirm and expand upon what William put down all those years ago. The short of it is that this line of Hamiltons had there feet firmly planted in the parish of Eaglesham (and later the Village) and for the most part there they appear to have stayed, the odd member can be found drifting into Mearns or Glasgow.
The first and only connection with Kilmarnock that i have discovered comes when the Rev. Andrew is appointed minister to the Chapel of Ease, later the High Kirk. I have not found anything for any other members making their way there. Andrew’s children settled in Dundonald and later Troon. the author of the above document being a son-in-law.
Kind Regards,
David.

P.S. Excuse for indulging in irrelevant info. but
as you enjoyed ‘translating’ perhaps you would like to see an image of its original owner.

I found it interesting you found mention in the newspaper many times. I guess I will try to see if I can find what you found. I have been trying to verify my dad was in one of the ccc camps. Thanks, Louise
