The 1870 USA census lists a Hamilton Miller b 1826 living in Hamilton, Ohio. I don't have access rights to check where he was born

Thanks K
It would answer a lot of questions if he went to USA I havn't got access to the passinger list or census records for USA either so it's a dead end for now.
Thanks for your help K.

The 1880 American census is free on Familysearch. there are 2 Hamilton Millers there born England but one is 1832 and the other 1863.

Thanks Margaret
I have just had a look and and the dates are a little out and he has a different wife so I can now look for Hannah's death his wife in England.
Thanks again Margaret

Here is 1871 census. Hamilton is a distiller? and his children are all born in England apart from the youngest, born in Ohio. Elizabeth was born in Maryland.

Alviegal.
You are a star I have tried for weeks and you came up trumps in one night and I am over the moon.
Thank you very much.

You're very welcome Paul. Here is the family emigrating without Hamilton....I take it he went over earlier perhaps?
