    3. Hello listers, I am looking for a marriage between Robert WILSON and Jane ??????, sometime around 1822, and her death prior to 1830. Robert WILSON married Ann HUTTON in Bishopwearmouth, Durham on 13 Mar 1830. The 1841 Census has at Shincliffe Colliery village the following family: Robert WILSON, 40, coal Miner Ann WILSON, 30 William WILSON, 15, Coal Miner Robert WILSON, 15, coal Miner Jane WILSON, 10 Joseph WILSON, 9 Thomas WILSON, 7 Ann WILSON, 4 Luke WILSON, 3. By 1851, Ann is widowed, and the oldest boy at home is Joseph. I know ages were rounded in the 1841 but it's just dawned on me that the ages of the two oldest boys made it probable that Ann was not their mother, or that they were born some years before the marriage. Ann was probably about 27 years old, judging by ages in later census, and she was christened in 1804. Investigation through Durham Records Online, gave the following: > 1822 William Wilson, son of Robert Wilson & Jane, Houghton-le-Spring > 19 Feb 1826 Robert Wilson, of Hetton, son of Robert Wilson & Jane, > Houghton-le-Spring. And there is a patron submission on the IGI for the marriage of Robert WILSON and Jane ARMSTRONG, April 2, 1825. However, even this is after the birth of William. I know that WILSON is not exactly an uncommon name, so I'll be grateful for any help that anyone can give. Thank you Judy Thomas
