Surnames: Hamilton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xFh.2ACEB/11.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The only info I have so far starts about early to mid 1850's with Edward that came from Ireland. He had three sons and one daughter. The tree I have starts there. I do have information (picture and documentation that they were horse traders? dealers? anyway....they raised and sold horses. One of the places was in Stratford. There were MANY Edward and Hugh Hamiltons so I am not sure if this is the same family?? Do you have any names, dates, places AFTER 1800?? I am hoping this is the same family! Ceya
