Notes for James Arthur Durbin Hamilton
In the censuses he was born in Beverstone, Glos, but his birth does not seem to be on FreeBMD.
By the time of his death, Ballymacoll had been lost as his father and his brother broke the entail or it was done with him. His heir was his half cousin Henry de Courcy Hamilton.
Curiously there is only one Hamilt* born in England in Q3 of 1854; I wonder where the rest have got to. (Did I not find they had been entered on FreeBMD as ‘Hamiltom’?)
In the 1881 census he was head of the household on a farm of 157 acres with 6 labourers in Godstone, Surrey:

In 1911 he was still at Godstone, his wife was reported never to have had any children and with them was their unmarried niece Geraldine, aged 27 and born in Dulwich, and a nurse, probably because he was about to die, which he did a month later.
