Charlotte: According to the John Grenham site the name Hamilton is:
“Very numerous: throughout Ulster, extending into Leinster and Connacht. An important Scottish name which came in the Plantation of Ulster, 17 cent. The town of Manorhamilton in Leitrim is indicative of their extensive holdings. The name sometimes stands for Hamill, q.v. The gaelicised version is Hamaltún. SI & IF”. https://www.johngrenham.com/findasurname.php?surname=Hamilton Looking at the 1901 census for Tyrone there were 1101 people of that surname, so very common. Using Hamilton (or any other surname) as a middle name was/is a common Presbyterian custom. It could often be the mother’s maiden name but not always. Sometimes it was someone the family respected, eg the local Teacher or Minister.
