Biography
sketcher and civil servant, was born in Kent, eldest son of Rev. John Vesey Hamilton and possibly a nephew of George Hamilton . He was educated at Harrow and in Paris and Brussels. In 1843 he left England for Sydney with £50. Fortunately he met Governor Robert FitzRoy on board ship and continued on to New Zealand as FitzRoy’s private secretary. After subsequently serving under Governor George Grey , Hamilton returned to England in 1846. He came back to New Zealand in 1848 on board HMS Acheron . The ship dropped anchor in King George Sound, Western Australia, on 19 August and Hamilton drew coastal views in his sketchbook. He held various government positions in New Zealand until his retirement in 1874, having settled with his family in the Canterbury district. This entry is a stub.
