Find Ancestors

I would love to find out more about Ernest Graham Hamilton who was married to Ethel Frith. I believe he died around 1948 - 50. He would have been in his late 60s.Who were his parents? What was his work? Where did he live ? May have been in the forces. The family had strong forces connections.

Also an ancestor of his John Hamilton (may have been father but probably grandfather given the estimated dates) Who I believe died in 1871 at 85 years of age. (Therefore born ca 1786). I know it is a long shot but can anyone help please?

You need to give us a place for us to have any chance of helping you.There is a Caotain Ernest Graham Hamilton of the Connaught Rangers born in Berlin..who in 1901 at public school... and in 1911 was in Berkshire..but if he is listed on the Census simply as ernest graham..then we're in trouble without further info from you.
EDIT..22.38 Sunday He..that is not necessarily the one above... married Ethel Frith 1907...in Dublin...Connaught rangers were an Irish regiment..disbanded in 1922

With his background..born in Berlin....probably of a military family..Public School in Berkshire 1901..and by 1911 very quickly an obviously very dashing young Captain.....seems to have fought everyhwere..decorated in 1916..probably on the Battlefield............it would be no surprise if here were the Colonel Ernest Grtaham Hamilton..who in the 1930's was sufficiently an authority on Genghis Khan to have an article (two articles actually) published in the Armed Forces gazette............
.....all this without any help from you!!..but be very sad if we've all got the wrong man..only you can tell us!!!

Many thanks for all your work. I think the Hamilton you have found is the right one. Ernest Graham, in the Punjab, from the 1911 census certainly seems correct. I will follow up on the other leads so far.

Many thanks again.

Do you have a copy of this certificate? It may be members of his family that registered the death.
