I have some information on them, but have not been able to find them in Ireland yet. More and more records are being digitized, so I think it's just a matter of time until we find that magic document that will unlock the door to Ireland...unless you've already found it. I haven't looked for that branch of the family for a while, but am revisiting them due to all of the new records online. I have all of the census records except one where it looks like they skipped Happy Hollow in Taunton - damn census workers! I have them in many directories and on a Taunton landowners map also. Here's a thought maybe the Thomas Hamilton who is living with them in 1860 is a younger brother or relative of Elizabeth. Hamilton Parker is obviously named after him, so that shows some affection for the name. What do you think and are there any records beyond what I listed you have and would like to share?
