Mary, According to Thomas Edward Wilson's obituary, and the obituary of his daughter Gertrude, who was about 5 years old when they came here, they came from Stockworth, England. I have yet to find Stockworth. A son, John Thomas Wilson, was born in Lincolnshire England, according to his marriage license, and he was born in 1886, the year his father and sister immigrated. Mother Jane and two boys (Herbert and John) apparently came the next year. Mother was from Swanland, England according to her obituary. Swanland is in Yorkshire, just north of Lincolnshire. You can find all of their obituaries (except Herbert) on the Huron County web page. Look under Biographies/Obituaries/Index.

I am interested in immigration to Huron County from England. My ancestors are Henry and Mary Ann (CROSS) PLOWRIGHT. They were married in Upwell, Norfolk, England March 1850 and left soon afterwards for USA. as they are found on the 1850 Huron Co OH census. Why? Did they have relatives or friends in Huron Co OH? Anyone else with ancestors from Norfolk England? The naturalization papers for Henry PLOWRIGHT were found in Huron Co Court records 25 years ago. Mary Jane Adams Texas
