Can anyone please advise my cousins (Gt Granddaughters of the above) and myself on this search the very elusive man. We have his marriage and children's details and know the marriage broke up. After that James simply disappears; no divorce NZ, no death NZ, nothing on Archway that pertains to him etc. There are several other James' we have found but nothing that gives us positive 'claim' to him! An elderly aunt gave the story as he was simply 'over the seas'. We cant access Army records for him,(if the one named there is him and possibly absconded while overseas). ANY help/direction is much appreciated! James was bought up by his Grandmother & Stepfather and adopted the stepfathers surname. James was a tailor.

They are all the children of Flora Jamison (McLean) Wilson. (Dunedin) Catherine McLean married Thomas Wright in 1868. I am particularly interested in a possible first child of Catherine's, James McLean Wilson born in Auchinleck, Scotland March 1857.
