    Do you have access to the census kaytw? For example, you can view the 1841 to 1901 Scottish census on Ancestry and the 1841 to 1911 census on ScotlandsPeople. These are both pay sites.

    I don't have access to the 1911 Scotland census (which has just been released) but it could be useful for you to check this particular census on ScotlandsPeople to see which of the Hamilton's and Lawson's are still in Scotland at this time.

    www.
    scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

    You would need to buy some credits in order to view the indexes and census images. This site also has many other types of records, such as BMD's, parish registers. However, the marriage information I posted earlier came from the family search site, which is free.

    You may already have this - Family search (free) also has a marriage of John L Hamilton b 1890 Rutherglen to fannie S Field b 1894 St Johns on 16 Sep 1915 in Halifax Nova Scotia. Groom's parents Arthur and Jeanie, Bride's parents richard and Jane

    Scotlands People has 2 births in Rutherglen in 1890 for a John Hamilton (tho neither seem to be John L Hamilton) To view details you need to register and buy a few credits,

    On these attestation papers which he signed in Aug 1918 he states he had 2 years in the (I thin)k Imperial Army(Imp Army )and 4 years in the R. C. R (Royal Canadian Regiment?). So perhaps he first came to Canada with the military.

    Hello I am the great granddaughter of John Lawson Hamilton. He came to Canada via the US from Rutherglen Scotland. Can share info if you like. Have an article he did on his experience during 1917 harbour explosion in Halifax NS.
