Please tell us where all these people were born, and the names of the known daughters. It’s important that you tell us all you know when asking for help

Only one Betsy Hamilton with right birth year and husband James on 1901 census - in Berwickshire, with one son

Look for birth on Scotland’s people. Look for the family on 1901 census

You will need to buy credits to look at births, as MMN is not on the index

Look for deaths of Hamilton with MMN Munro

Have you found the family on census records please? The 1911 census will say how many children. You need to look on Scotlandspeople for births. It is not a subscription site. You buy credits to look at the registrations.

Where in Scotland was the Croft?

You need to buy some credits for Scotlandpeople so you can look for births of children with the surname Hamilton and mother;s maiden name Munro.

James Hamilton 1869 - Betsy Munro 1871 my G.Grand parents Scotland. I was given photograph of the family outside their croft.

I always thought that they had four daughters, last year a photo came to me with five daughters.....she is dressed all in black..the other four girls dressed entirely different. When I asked another relative who the girl on her own was....I was told she was never talked about all she could remember was she was disabled at birth and put in a home, she never married and lived to a good age, nothing else not even a name but she was their daughter.

Girl lin black born between 1895-1899.

Can anyone help me.....?
