What is the old Irish meaning of the name of the county where Hugh Hamilton was born?
Hugh Hamilton (racing driver) Hugh 'Hammy' Caulfield Hamilton (18 June 1905 - 26 August 1934) was a British racing driver, who was killed in the 1934 Swiss Grand Prix. He was born in Omagh, in Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It has been said that he was "perhaps the top British driver at that time [before his death]". He raced with Dick Seaman on occasion, and was good friends with him.
Upper Ossory Upper Ossory was formerly an administrative barony in the south and west of Queen's County (now County Laois) in Ireland. In late Gaelic Ireland it was the túath of the Mac Giolla Phádraig (Fitzpatrick) family and surviving remnant of the once larger kingdom of Ossory. The northernmost part of the Diocese of Ossory and medieval County Kilkenny, it was transferred to the newly created Queen's County in 1600. In the 1840s its three component cantreds, Clarmallagh, Clandonagh, and Upperwoods, were promoted to barony status, thereby superseding Upper Ossory.
