When I was at PRONI recently I found this single line of information:- “Margaret Boyd 30 December 1713 her sister husband Gilbert Hamilton” I think it was from a County Down list, but I did not make a note of what kind a list it came from. (i) What does this one line mean? (ii) So who was this Gilbert Hamilton? (iii) Who was Margaret Boyd’s sister? (iv) And where in Ireland – or in County Down – did these two families live? (v) Did it mean that Margaret Boyd was leaving “something” to Gilbert Hamilton? And does it mean that Margaret Boyd was unmarried and had no children in 1713? I would like your view please. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Mike, You do not say what document or book you found it in. There must be some sort of context.
