I would like to find information for a Mary Wilson who gave birth to Mary Jane Wilson 13 Aug 1882 Carlton, Victoria. Mary was 18 at the time, born 1864 "at sea" no father given on the birth. Mary's parents might be John Wilson and Sarah Ann Williams. I think Mary Jane Wilson born 13 Aug 1882 could be my grandmother who married David Jamison Cargill, 16 October 1901, Melbourne, Australia. Their son David was born 06 November 1902, they left Australia for Scotland (David's home) via London in Sept 1903. There is a discrepancy in the marriage year, I have a copy of the original marriage that says 1901, I have another copy from Australia that says 1902, on the children's Scottish births it says 1901. I think Mary Jane gave some wrong information on her marriage, her age 21, (born- 1880), she might have given her grandparents John Wilson and Sarah Ann Williams as her parents. Mary Jane's address on her marriage certificate was 87 York St, South Melbourne, Mary Jane and David Cargill were at the same address in the 1903 Electoral Rolls. Does anyone have ideas about how to find information for Mary Wilson born- 1864 (at sea) or her daughter Mary Jane born -13 Aug 1882? I'd like to prove or disprove this is my grandmother and her mother. I'll be grateful for any help or suggestions.
