Hammy

I was at CP this morning and sung your praises and that of your family. We will be getting advance publicity on Celtic TV.

As soon as I started talking about you they brightened up as they had been in contact with your family via Facebook. Was that you?

Quote:

 

They put up on their page a pic of the 1906/07 I said that it was my great great granda.

It might have been that but I wasn't in contact with them on Facebook.

Bring on the Hammies by the score!

Looking forward to another great Celtic occasion in the company of The Dancer's descendants. A tremendous Celtic player, hopefully the ceremony will make him known to many more among the Faithful.

I will be at dalbeath on the 22nd (my beloved mothers birthday) but might not make the ceremony, would appreciate it if you can let me know directions to the lair and i will pay my respects then.

would also like 2 of those programmes similar to the DD ones that were printed

Quote:

 

I had been in contact with Chris at Celtic via email a few times, lovely bloke and always very very helpful (Davie's my great grandfather - my mum's mum is his daughter) - afraid I won't be able to attend the ceremony because I live near London but am very pleased and grateful to CGS for arranging it, its a shame as it would have been lovely to meet other descendants :-(

looking forward to meeting up with you all again

Hi all,
Travelling up from deepest, darkest Wiltshire with my daughter to be at Davie's ceremony on Saturday. Looking forward to meeting Hammy, who I have yet to meet and other family members I have not been in contact with for a long time. Many Thanks for the CGS for arranging this event.

Hi 3789ft - Im very nosey - how are you related to Davie ? :-)

Quote:

 

Berniemc,
I am Davie's great grandson. My mother Violet was the daughter of John Joseph, one of Davie's sons. I have been in contact with your sister Marvin on Rootschat.com and sent her a family photo of Davie, copies of certificates and my e-mail address. Has she not passed any info on?
Hammy is my cousin's son who I have yet to meet and to be honest I last saw his dad when we were kids!

Quote:

 

Hi 3789, my sister does tell me these things but I think Im beginning to lose track ! lol

So your mum is my mums cousin - is your mum still alive ? Unfortunately mine isnt so I cant ask questions and neither is May (another of your mums cousins from Davie's other daughter) - nice to 'meet' you :-)

Quote:

 

cheers got a good idea where that is

Quote:

 

Best Wishes for the Commeroration tomorrow.

Fantastic effort put in all round. :)

Quote:

 

Same from me, won`t be able to make it due to work/kids , but great work again by all involved.

Quote:

 

First class guys, another wonderful achievement.

More after the game.

Quote:

 

Congratulations on what sounds like another touching and wonderful event. It is a fantastic achievement. Amazing work by all involved. Thank you all.

Quote:

 

Can I just say that the tremendous podcast by TheHumanTorpedo on CU really helped to build the momentum for today. You really have a talent for this and it is a great way for Celts to learn of their history. Thank you.

Quote:

 

Would agree with camillo re THT's Podcast.

Also many,many thanks to all those who managed along today - It is very much appreciated.

Special thanks once again to Antsplan and marst 72.

Quote:

 

no need to thank me John, I'm delighted to be involved.

Incidentally guys, if anyone wishes to have a CD of all of the images either from this ceremony or the Dan Doyle, I'll gladly provide all of the images in full size and un-watermarked, in return for a £10 donation direct to CGS.

A massive Thanks to all at the CGS for their work on this. It is fantastic that all the early Celts are being remembered in this way.

Brilliant.

Quote:

 

The Hamilton family cant thank you's enough.

It was a great day and we are all very proud!

Hail Hail

Quote:

 

I'm a new member on here and attended Davie Hamilton memorial yesterday.
Thought it was a very good service, and I got a chance to speak to Sean at the service and in the CSA afterwards.

I'd like to say that the work done by the CGS is absolutely top class, it makes me proud to be a Celtic supporter. It emphasises how much Celtic is more than just a football team, and it sets us apart from the rest.

Hail! Hail!

Quote:

 

Wonderful photos again Ants!! Truly captured the atmosphere of a special day in a special place. Was also wonderful to see so many members of the Hamilton family in attendance. A day that will live long in the memory. Well done everyone.

Podcast 118: Davie Hamilton - Celtic Graves Society
http://bit.ly/cupod118

A wee extra podcast this week. Yesterday the Celtic Graves Society celebrated the life of Davie "The Dancer" Hamilton and we've put together a wee podcast to recognise the event. Psychoheart has kindly provided us with the audio of the event and we hear the words of Brendan Sweeney, Jim Craig, Tony Hamilton and, most importantly, Sean Hamilton - the great, great grandson of Davie. Eddie managed to have a chat with Sean after the event and he shares with us just how it felt to have his ancestor honoured in this fashion. Jim from Celtic Graves Society also joins Eddie for a quick look back on another highly successful Celtic Graves event.

Quote:

 

Yet another fantastic effort by everyone involved in the celtic graves society, a great way to remember one of celtics original legends, the dancer would have been so proud to see so many members of his family in attendance, both blood relations and the Celtic family.

Quote:

 

Cheers kilsythcsc - I agree with your sentiments - This was a success due to EVERYONE involved and thanks once again to you all - There are unsung members on CGS (non Committee Bhoys) who put aside their own work from which they earn their living at short notice to help out - Every single member on CGS's help and backing is very much appreciated.

Slightly OT - We have visited the grave of another TRUE CELTIC LEGEND Jimmy Quinn who played alongside Davie Hamilton - Jimmy as you will know is buried in Kilsyth Cemetery and the headstone is a fantastic tribute to this Celtic Great. - There was no staff around at the time for us to ask so do you (or does anybody else) happen to know is the other Celt Jimmy Quinn (The Croy Express's grandson) buried in the cemetery and do you know whereabouts?

Many thanks.

Quote:

 

I have done some asking about this morning and from the feedback so far most people are saying he was buried in kilsyth cemetery, Got a couple of guys goin to ask about today to see if they can come up with a location.

Quote:

 

it was a great day all round, well done to everybody involved

Quote:

 

I will ask the Wifes Uncle about Young Jimmy.

He knew him as he was the Parish Priest in St Pat. I have heard a few stories of him.

Quote:

 

Many thanks to the CGS and all those who attended on saturday to make it a memorable day for the Family. Great work!!

In the booklet it says Davie won Scottish Cup medals in 1903/04, 1907/08 & 1910/11.

Did he not get a medal for the 1906/07 Scottish Cup victory? Did he play?

Acc to the records in the wiki he played 7games in the Scottish cup run of 1906/07 and so amazing if he didn't get a medal....

For some reason, probably injury he didn't play in the final against Hearts. He also missed the semi final replay against Hibs. He did play 7 times in the comp that season, there was another drawn and replayed game in the run. Bobby Templeton played in his place for those 2 games.

cheers mate, in the wiki i'll record it still that he won a medal for 1906/07 then, but back in those days likely only those who played in the final got medals...
