Hello - back with lists after a break. Can anyone help with this mystery.I and at least one other descendant of this family are running out of ideas of where to look next. William HAMILTON ( Tanner - born 1793 Linthingow, Scotland) married Margaret RAMSAY ( b 3 Jul 1791 Linlithgow, Sc) 20 Feb 1813 Linthingow, Scotland. According to the obituary of one of their children there were 13 children. We can only find records of 9 and we are very keen to find birth, baptism or other records for the remaining 4 children. THE CHILDREN. 1. Agnes HAMILTON bap 12 Feb 1813 Linlithgow, Scotland 2. Janet HAMILTON bap 15 Oct 1815 Canongate, Edinburgh 3. Jessie HAMILTON b 1816 Edinburgh 4. Ann Maria HAMILTON bap 5 Apr 1818 Haddington, E Lothian, Scotland 5. Jane HAMILTON bap 21 Jul 1820 Canongate, Edinburgh 6. ? 7. ? 8. ? 9. ? 10. William HAMILTON b 28 Apr 1828 Boldon, Durham 11. Colin White HAMILTON bap 12 Jul 1829 Boldon, Durham 12. Eleanor HAMILTON bap 22 Jan 1832 Boldon, Durham 13. Mary HAMILTON bap 16 Apr 1834 Newcastle upon Tyne, St John. We know a fair amount about the 9 named children and their descendants but have found nothing about the four missing children. The Canongate, Haddington,Boldon and Newcastle St John parish registers have been searched and we have searched census records for clues. These four children could have been born on the road or boat from Edinburgh to the Tyne ( Tanners perhaps travelled with the cattle ?) ; they could have died when young or even at birth : they could have been baptised/buried in Scottish churches/chapels in Northumberland/Co Durham. Information on this family or ideas on where to look for the four missing children would be much appreciated. Thanks
