Pending Merge on John Hamilton

Question

This merge is ready to be completed, but I lack the pre-1500 certification to do so. If some helpful WikiTree-er could take care of this, that would be great!

On 15 Jul 2020 Michael Hamilton wrote on Hamilton-23545:

[[Hamilton-4469]] and Hamilton-23545 appear to represent the same person because: These 2 John Hamiltons have the same parents and the profile of Hamilton-4147 mentions her other husband' "John Hamilton of Broomhill, son of James Hamilton, 1st Lord Hamilton and Janet Calderwood".

Whoops, thanks for that!

Answer 1

I am leaving this to someone with knowledge as she married Elizabeth Hamilton married two different John Hamiltons....

One of Broomhill and one of Neilsland.....

Answer 2

I'm not at all certain that they are the same person.  It seems to me that the one is the son of the other.  John Hamilton-4469 mentions a son John, yet there isn't one attached.  His profile also notes there is/has been much confusion over father and son as well as nephew and possible grandson, all named John.

Adding to the confusion is another John Hamilton-4284 who is also married to an Elizabeth Hamilton...  It's been sitting as an unmerged match with Hamilton-4469 for almost two years.

The merge(s) should not be completed until further research is completed.

Answer 3

Thanks for re-tagging, Traci.  I've alerted the Scotland Project's Medieval Team.  They are aware of the situation, as it is included in a line that is currently being researched.  It will be worked on as soon as possible.
