Frederick Hamilton (soldier)
Dear Acidsear, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your attention to the article Frederick Hamilton (soldier). You say that one Lady Judith Hamilton, who was your 9th great grandmother, was one of the two daughters of James Hamilton (d. 1652) who was the eldest surving son of Frederick Hamilton (d. 1647). I doubt it. The names of the 2 daughters of James Hamilton are given as Hanah and Sidney in Lodge (1789), volume 5, p. 175, URL=

Besides, Wikipedia has articles about both their husbands. Hannah married Sir William Gore, 3rd Baronet and Sidney married Sir John Hume, 2nd Baronet.

This shows how dangerous it is to just add something to Wikipedia that you believe is right. You must always cite a source. This is one of Wikipedia's rules. See WP:V and WP:CITE. Please remove your addition to the article.

Dear Acidsear, I was a bit in a hurry when I wrote to you yesterday. Wikipedia's most precious resource are its editors and you are one of them. I think you were on the right track. You seem to have a good knowledge of Irish history, especially concerning biographies of the people. Just try again, please. Perhaps I can help you with the citation.
