Leroy Brick Hamilton b. 1885 - Kansas

Surnames: Hamilton, Smith
Looking for information about Hamilton family. Leroy had a brother, Vogel V. Hamilton who died in Soap Lake, Washington in 1957. Leroy's wife's name was Anna. They are listed as living in Melbourne, Grays Harbor Co., in the 1930 US Census where he worked as an electrician for the railroad. Their children included: Rose Etta; Leroy B; and Marilyn E.

Thank you

As a long-time volunteer researcher, I can tell you that you will get better results with queries which ask specific questions instead of "looking for information".

Are you looking for parents of Leroy and Vogel? Or looking for descendants of those two brothers? Are you looking for their burial sites? You say you have the 1930 census, but do you have other census records, World War 1 draft cards, marriage records, or etc.?

Here is the link to the Washington State Digital Archives were you will find some information on the family:

http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/

If you re-post asking for a couple of specific details, I will be happy to see what I can find for you.

Thank you for the tips on writing a research request.

The link to the Washington State Digital Archives was helpful in confirming the father and mother of Leroy and Vogel Hamilton. Additionally, the Archives confirmed their marriages and that of their sister, Ella (who I did not mention in the previous post.)

Thanks again,

Anne in Oregon

You probably have all the following but just in case this is what I found on FamilySearch for Washington Death Certificates.

LeRoy b. 2 Dec 1885 and d. Jan 1973
Anna b. 24 July 1891 and d. June 1973
They were both living in Grays Harbor Co. WA at the time of their death and had lived in several rural areaa of the county.

Vogel Victor b. @ 1888 and d. 30 May 1957 in Soap Lake, WA

LeRoy and Vogel were the sons of James Robert Hamilton and Lilly Smith.

Thank you for reminding me that there are many free resources available.

It is interesting to note that the WA Digital Archives did not include the SSDI death information for LeRoy and Anna that were listed at FamilySearch.

Thanks again,
Anne
