Many thanks for the above information both the query and the answer. I am also doing some research on this family from the perspective of the HAMILTON/RANKINE angle. My connection is from the RANKINE side connecting the family of Agnes RANKINE in Scotland, her brother James in New Brunswick and her sister Marion in England. If I can be of any help to those researching this family, please feel free to contact me.
Any chance anyone has the info from the death record of Agnes (Rankine) HAMILTON (wife of Gavin HAMILTON, Sr.) who died 11 March 1874 Wanganui, New Zealand?
