Dear Listers,
I am still seeking birth and ancestry details for George HAMILTON who
was born in Hannover ca. 1840. I believe he may have come to Australia
as a mariner. I believe his surname was HAMILTON at birth even though
it is not a German name.
He is not to be found in the Catholic archives in Hildesheim, he must
have been a Protestant. I do not know the village/town of his birth.

Jan,
This is probably quite improbable but I have a George C. Hamilton who
married Mary M. Johnson in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on June 28, 1865. He
was listed (on Marriage register) as being born in Connecticutt, USA, in
1841. He fought in the Civil War and was mustered out on June 8, 1865 in
Richmond, Va. I found them again in the 1880 Census in Conn. and they had
three children. John A. born about 1866, William E. abt. 1869, and Alice M.
born about 1873. I have no further history on them. I believe he was
listed as being a fisherman (may have been a mariner). Can you give me any
info that might connect these two men?
