You need to find the death record for Richard Sr. in Scotland which will hopefully name his parents. The family seems to have settled in Quebec where I find Richard Jr. with a wife and child in the 1881 census, and Edward is living with his mother. All of them are in Windsor Mills, Quebec. Ann's burial record in the parish records of the Presbyterian Church in Windsor Mills, indicates she is the widow of Richard Wilson, a native of Tyrone, Ireland; died 1 November 1888; buried from the residence of her son, Richard Wilson, to the cemetery in Brompton. Witnesses were Thomas & Edward Wilson. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
