Hello all, I'm hoping to find a connection to my WILSON family through this list. I know that there are still family members living in Scotland...I just have no idea as to who they might be or where. So here's what I do know.... GG grandparents were Arthur and Margaret (Irvine) Wilson Gr grandparents... John Wilson b. 1858 or 59 Belfast? Janet (Jessie) McNeil b. 1858 or 59 in Cambusnethan, Lanark They were married May 21, 1880 at 35 Crawford Street, Partick. The marriage record shows Anderson Street, Partick as the usual residence of both the Wilson and McNeil (McNeill) families. In 1881 census John and Jessie are listed at 35 Crawford Street Govan, Lanark, Scotland. They had a 3 mon. old daughter, Janet. John's occupation is shown as Shipbuilder Labourer. It is believed that John died in 1892 in Scotland. Jessie died in 1914 in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, USA and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Wilkinsburg.PA. The children of John and Jessie were: Janet (Jessie) R. Wilson b.Dec. 1880 d.June 1950 m. William Ramsay Margaret I. Wilson b. July 1882 d.June 1951 m. William Harper Agnes M. Wilson b. Feb.1884 m. John Beveridge John M. Wilson b.1885 d.1920(?) m. Christina Adams Arthur Wilson b.Feb.16,1890 d.Jan. 10,1951 (my grandfather) m. Margaret Coatswood (Coatsie/Cotsy?) Cunningham June 6,1913 James M Wilson b.Mar. 8,1891 d.Mar. 1963 m. Ella Tyrie I have found Jessie and 5 of the 6 children in the Ellis Island Records. They left Wishaw Scotland for Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania at various dates between 1906 and 1909. The only other person I have connected to the family is a Winnie Lever, who in 1975 signed a letter to my aunt as "Aunt Winnie". She lived in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She told my aunt, she didn't realize there were so many of us Wilson's. She remembered her father talking of a couple sisters, possibly in Ireland. I think that Winnie may have been a niece to my Gr Grandfather John. Sorry to be so long winded...but I really need to find some connection. If you have read this far, I thank you for your time and interest! PLEASE let me know if you have a connection to the family. Mary Lou Wilson Morris Michigan, USAGet more from the Web.
