The following images of a Silver Platter presented to Fr. James Hamilton were sent to me by John Crabbe in the USA
Hi,
I have attached two pictures of a large sterling silver platter presented to a Rev. James Hamilton. The platter was made by James Fray, a Dublin silversmith. This particular item was made in 1828. I am not sure of the year it was presented to Rev. Hamilton. I hope you can use the photos. I am looking for any information about this chaplain.
Sincerely, John Crabbe

I done some research for John and came up with the following information.
Fr. James Hamilton was a Kerryman and a Graduate St. Patrick’s College Carlow and priest of the dioceses . He opened the first baptismal register for the Curragh Camp Garrison Church in January 1855.
