HAMILTON, Elizabeth Head Widow F 75 1776 Annuitant
Stalbridge, Dorset

Good morning Reggie!

I'd like to be clear which Elizabeth we are talking about, given that there may have been two.

Elizabeth Hamilton, née Clift, (b. 1776 in Stalbridge Weston - d. 21 June 1870 Beaminster, aged 94), her parents William Clift & Mary Clift née Hobbs (this being someone else's research and in need of substantiation). I've not yet found (or looked for) the marriage of William & Mary.

Elizabeth Hamilton 1776 - 1870, sister of John, if she existed!

I've been unable to find a baptism record for either in Beaminster, the earliest Hamilton baptism I have found there is 1799, child of John & Elizabeth. This might suggest that they arrived in Beaminster (as a family?) between their birth and the birth of their first child.

How did you discover that Elizabeth (which one) was illegitimate?

Keith

Thank you for the Kiddle references, in fact I had not found those. I believe this Elizabeth Hamilton was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Clift).

Those census data reinforce the idea that Elizabeth Clift was 94 at death. Must have led a healthy life :-)

The marriage info I posted refers only to her mother's name.................

Ah, thanks, I'd missed the significance of that.
