I have very little information on the name I am searching for and it is a very common name, WILSON. So far I have John Wilson born probably around 1850-60. He left the Orkney islands to Canada to work for the Hudson Bay CO. He worked as a trader there and married a Canadian woman who's name was Henritta Rose, I am not sure if that was her last name or not. She was cree Indian and they had one son that I know of and his name was James John Wilson born Aril 28 1888. This is not much to go on but it is all I have. If anyone has anything that can help me I would greatly appreciate this. > Thanks > Barb Swan > Vancouver BC > Canada >
