____________________

After 1881 there were several Hamilton births in the Camberwell area but I have no idea if any were his and Adeline’s additional children.
________________

Not found in 1891 census.  Abroad as civil engineer?
________________

In 1901 he and Adeline were in Winnipeg, he was born on 26 Jul 1849 in Ireland and was 51 and was working possibly as a caretaker.  She was born on 15 Oct 1853 and was 47.  No sign of daughter Enid.

There is a Douglas death in British Columbia on 4 Aug 1927 (or 8 Apr 1927?) of a Douglas Hamilton aged 77, which could be him:

Last name Hamilton
Year 1927

The fact that he and his wife died in the same place, Kelowna, makes it certain enough to put this in the boxes.
