They are mentioned in a number of Old Parish Records from which I have been able to find out something about them. They were married in Glasgow in 1763 while Robert Hamilton was a soldier. Between 1767 and 1771 he left the army and became a weaver. Between 1773 and 1776 the family moved from Glasgow to Paisley. They had ten children, at least four of whom died in infancy.
Anne Bell was born in 1804, father was William Bell, mother was Nellie Norman. I have no other information than that. Is Anne any of the brothers or sisters of Janet?
