There are Doggarts and Hamltons in this lot, from Ayrshire and Co.Down - might be useful

Yeah that's him ... I've got him in all the census' i just can't seem to find a birth for him.

??????????

Name: Hamilton Doggart
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 1851
Gender: Male
Age: 9
Birthplace: Ayrshire
Registration District: Carrick
County: Ayrshire
Birth Year (Estimated): 1842
GS Film number: 1042403

I never thought about the births only been registered because of the baptism ... This side has been a nightmare because of the Howat/Hewit/Howatt/Howit/Howitt etc ... so many ways of spelling the one name.

I did thinik that the Hamilton could have been a middle name and he could have just adopted it as his first name but on his death record all that is registered as Hamilton Doggart - he died while living in an Asylum tho with no parents still alive so they may not have known ?

Still confuses me completely

Probably mistranscribed somewhere along the line but this this may be who you are searching for.... (Still living Dalrymple St 1891)

Note...Also a Mary Ann Hewit b Ireland.

Joseph, Samuel and Robert I think are listed as Hewett on family search

The older children's births could not possibly have been registered.................see GB's info about civil registration in Scotland

Any info you have found would relate to their baptisms

Sometimes find that children born to an unmarried or widowed mother are shown in her maiden name

Civil registration began in Scotland in 1855. You will not find a birth but might find a baptism on the old parish records

I presume you have already checked out familysearch

Was wondering if anyone could help me of give me guidance on where to go next ...

I have a Hamilton Doggart in my tree

Mother Ruth Hamilton

But cannot find a birth for him on scotlands people?

I know that Ruth Hamilton was previously married to Joseph Howat and they had 3 children (Joseph, Robert and Samuel) who were all registered in Girvan, Ayr.

I have him on the census ..

I also have a death for him

Registered in Alloway, Ayr


I can't seem to find a birth for him and was wondering if anyone had any hints or tips as to how I could go about this or any reason why this may not have been the case? I find it strange that she wouldn't register his birth when she registered her previous 3 childrens?


Any help would be appreciated
