Greetings everyone from New Zealand. I have just joined the forum but have been researching my family since 2003. On my mother's side I have a brick-wall with my G Grandfather Robert Hamilton. He first appears in the 1891 census in Leyland Lancashire married to Lettice Hamilton (nee Jacob). I knew her maiden name from my mother. Also listed are Mary, Ada and my grandfather William. The Mary should be May as Ada and she were twins. Robert, Lettice and William appear on the 1901 census in Denholme, Yorkshire. However I cannot find a marriage for Robert and Lettice. I have searched Find my Past, Ancestry, Forces records and Indian Army records. Robert was born according to the 1901 census in Roscommon, Ireland. Lettice was born in Llangyfelach, Glamorgan according to the 1861 census. I have the birth certificates for my grandfather and his two sisters.
If I can find the marriage for Robert and Lettice I should be able to get his fathers name and hence make some progress. I would be grateful for any suggestions and help. It is also possible that Robert was born in Scotland as I was told by mother that his father moved to Ireland from Scotland to be a farmer. If Robert was very young he may have thought he was born in Ireland and not Scotland.
