DALMELLINGTON, Ayrshire

"When the time shall come (as come it will) when English cottages or English neatness shall be introduced into Scotland, what a village Dalmellington may be. A few trees, irregular ground, tumbling burns, a spire, and a mill - what more is wanted?" {Lord Cockburn on a visit in 1844}

Dalmellington ".. has the appearance of being a singularly virtuous and happy village; and I am told it is the last place in Ayrshire where, with a great deal of old primitive manufacture, rural simplicity and contentment still linger. But it is now to taste of manufactures in an improved state. The devil has disclosed his iron, and speculation has begun to work it. There seemed to be about a dozen of pits sinking within half a mile of the village, and before another year is out those now solitary and peaceful hills will be blazing with furnaces, and blighted by the vices of a new population of black scoundrels. They were already lying snoring, and I presume, drunk, on many indignant knolls." {Lord Cockburn on a return three years later.}

I can find no marriage any date anywhere in Scotland for a HAMILTON to a Susan (any variation I can think of) WILSON.


FreeCEN has no Susan/Susannah HAMILTONs of any age born anywhere living in Ayrshire in 1851.

I can't find Hugh in 1841 in Ayrshire with father = ? and mother = Susan (variations)

A few wee porkies being told here. The John was more accurate than we thought?

Hello Barbara,

Thanks.

So it looks as though 'William' and 'Wilson' are fabrications. Father = John and mother = Susan Hamilton.

Regards,

Dave

I did find a William & Susannah HAMILTON but ruled them out because the date was 1785.
