Contact for Cicely Mary Hamilton   1872-1952

The copyrights of Cicely Hamill (known as Hamilton) have been traced as far as the 1990s, but the current situation is not certain. By her will (probate London, 24 January 1953), Hamill bequeathed all her copyrights and other rights to her friend Mrs Elizabeth Abbott. The copyrights then passed to Commander Jasper Abbott (who died in 1960); to Mrs Clare Abbott, later Lady Bower (who died in 1971); to Sir Leslie Bower (who died in 1991); and then presumably to Patricia, the second Lady Bower (who died in 2017).
