Hello to all and hope everyone had a great christmas. I found my 3 x great grandfather Edward Hamilton b1829 on the County Downers in County Durham (England) 1891 strays list with his wife Mary Ann (both born in County Down). I have all their Census records in Durham, England but have never been able to trace him back to County Down and wondered if anyone had any further information on him. He has been my brickwall ever since I started my family research and would love to find more. He Married Mary Ann (probably Alexander, they both show in the freeBMD as marrying on this date) 16 Sep 1855 in County Durham and his 8 children were all born in County Durham, I believe his wife Mary Ann was born around 1833 in Larne although her date of birth fluctuates a great deal in the Census records. Kind Regards and best wishes to everyone for the New Year.
