I have both a Wilson and a heap of Speers in my family...as well as Dukes. I have a jane ann wilson dob 1803 whom was a daughter of John Wilson esq. from co Tyrone...she apparently maried under her station ...marrying our gggggrandfather whom was a duke and her carriage man. Im having real trouble finding much on J wilson esq, though I did find him in a directory of the time. Any thoughts of links??? Jane and her Duke emmigrated to Canada, and settled in Mono York Ontario, where she died at the age of 96 in 1886. Her marrying under her station apparently cause a right scandle which is why they left (we are told) Dukes seem to be from co Armagh Speers connection comes into play with Janes son, who married a Mary Ann Speers, both were born in Co Armagh and travelled seperatly with their families to the Mono area Ontario Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
