Notes for Hans Wellesley Hamilton Lord Holmpatrick
Of Abbotstown House, nr Castleknock, Co Down.
For his death CP says it was on 31 Jul 1933 at Longthorpe House, Peterborough, Northants while Burke’s peerage 1999 and 2003 both say it was 5 Sep 1942 (with no location). Who is right??? I have to go for CP pro tem. I’ve looked at the Death indexes on FindMypast and I can find neither Hans Hamilton nor Hans Holmpatrick at either of these dates. Wait for FreeBMD to catch up for a wider search? c. 2009?
Interestingly the death date in CP is the same date and place as that of his mother. I am slowly wondering if CP might not have got this wrong!
No birth on FreeBMD; Ireland probably.

Thanks are due to Pat Mulholland for taking super photos of his MI in Dublin and then finding that I had entered his mother’s death date for his! The MI added in the information that he died in Abbotstown.
