Notes for William Evelyn de Courcy Hamilton
In his death notice in The Times it included that he was the husband of Ursula Mary and stepfather of Undine Concannon. I deduce from this that he and Ursula had no children. This deduction is cast iron when it was found that his wife was 57 at marriage.
In 1911 he was at home with his parents and sister.
While he was stated to have been at Cambridge, there is no record for him on the ACAD web-site of Alumni, though this does say that the website covers 1200 to 1900, so he might not be included.

Notes for William Evelyn de Courcy & Ursula Mary (Family)
Their marriage:
Name: William E.D. Hamilton
Partner: Ursula M Congannon
District: Taunton
Registered: April - June 1962
Volume: 7c *
Page: 0369
On her index entry for this marriage, her surname is correctly entered as ‘Concannon’, leading to an inability to match the couple up.
His index entry is fairly clearly typed as ‘Concannon’ but has been mistranscribed as ‘Congannon’; told ‘em.
