Biography

William Hamilton married Margaret Ryles 14 Jul 1864 at the Wesleyan Chapel, Shea Oak Log, South Australia. [1]

HAMILTON RYLES. On the 14th July, at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sheaoak Log, by the Rev. R. C. Flockart, by special licence, Mr. William Hamilton, to Miss Margaret Ryles, both of Freeling. [2]

Research Notes

His age at marriage in 1864 was recorded as 20, making him born c1844, 10 years after the year recorded here as his birth.

The William Hamilton that died in 1902 in Adelaide was only 22 years old, so not this William. [3] [4]

No other deaths in South Australia match a possible year of birth between 1835-1844. Also, the Margaret Hamilton that died in 1897 in South Australia was the wife of a Robert Hamilton, not William. Nothing further located on this couple (William and Margaret)

William Bath Hamilton was born in Edinburgh Scotland to William Hamilton and Alison Edmonds. In the 1851 census he was noted as a sailor at his sister Esther Hamilton m Thomas Urquart address in Edinburgh. This origin has been confirmed by multiple dna line matches and his Adelaide Hospital admission records.

(The Tyrone Ireland origin hypothesis came from the wrong William Hamilton who arrived on the Velocity.)
