Have you been using Scotlandspeople to check the records? I am not sure if Thomas Wilson and Barbara Rhodes' marriage is listed there, but they definitely had a marriage certificate showing the ceremony took place at the bride's home (now a B&B) in the tiny hamlet of Faichem, which lies very close to Invergarry, in March 1856. None of the their children was born in Scotland, and as far as I can deduce Thomas only visted Scotland for the wedding and then returned to Islington taking Barbara with him. Like the rest of the Scottish Wilsons in my family, myself included, they spent very little of their lives north of the Tweed. I guess all the large engineering opportunities at that time lay to the south though several Rhodes moved from the North Country to Inverness in the 1810s to help build the Caledonian Canal and that is how Barbara happened to be born in the area in 1827 to a Yorkshire father, James, and Scots mother, Wemyss Martin. Her brother, William Rhodes, rose to the top with the Company and died in harness in Inverness as Superintendent.

Hello Stirling, Sorry for the delay in acknowledging your message of the 4th. I know absolutely nothing of John Wilson's family for certainand do not hold out much hope of making progress My Thomas was born in 1809 so would have been a generation older than your ancestor Robert I do not even know if he had any siblings. . I am fortunate in that my male Wilsons ended up marrying women in Scotland with quite distintive surnames otherwise I would have made very little progress. best of luck, Nick On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 3:19 AM, Bruce Warren <bwarren@melbpc.org.au> wrote: > Hello John, > I am no help as regards JOHN WILSON as requested, but as I have been given > to understand that my Wilsons, the earliest of which ROBERT WILSON came > from > Dollar in Clackmanshire for whom I have a birth-date of 1832 from > somewhere. > Another source however suggests that he came from Fifeshire. > He had four children, Robert, Sarah Anne, William & Jane, all born in > Australia.. > Any assistance which you can provide would be greatly appreciated. > Stirling Warren > Melbourne, Australia > > On 2 May 2011 17:00, <sct-clackmannanshire-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > > > >

Hi Nick, Your confusion seems to be contagious because I am also. Found lots of marriages for Thomas WILSONs in 1856, but none of them in Alloa or even Clackmannanshire. Can't possibly tell which marriage might be the one you are referring to. Did find a marriage in 1857 for a Thomas WILSON & Margaret HUNTER in Alloa, Clackmamman. Searched Ancestry.com's 1851 Scotland Census Index for a Thomas WILSON b. 1806 +/- 5 in Clackmannan, and 1801 +/- 5, none found. Searched Ancestry's 1851 Scotland Census Index for all Thomas WILSONs in Clackmannanshire. Found: Census: 1851 British, Scotland, Clackmannanshire, Alloa Town & Parish, E.D. 5, page 44, Household # 201, Address East Vennel - Thomas WILSON, Head, 48, Smith, b.

None of the children b. in Alloa recorded. Could not find the Thomas b. 1803 in Ancestry's 1861 Scotland Census Index.

Linda, It is kind of you to persevere with my 'dead end. I agree with you about John 1, 2 and 3 so that still leaves me perplexed over dates, etc. You ask for more on Thomas. He was the first ancestor I could identify with complete certainty even though there are still massive gaps in his life I'll never be able to fill. Even though I used a Scots researcher I never did find his birth/baptism record and have placed his birth as taking place in Edinburgh in c.1809 from the information he gave the census taker in 1851. He sent both his sons by his first marriage to be educated at Dollar Academy in Clackmannanshire and that is enough to convince me he was a Scot and not just a Wilson born in Edinburgh. My initial research was helped by his will coming to light in the archives of the Institution of Civil Engineers in London and at about the same time my obtaining his first son's b.c. Comparing these two documents told me he had married twice Mary Rhodes born in Middleton, Lancs in 1807 was his first though when hey were married I am not sure. I found a marriage between a TW and an MR taking place in Everton, Lancs in November 1836 but since their first child, Arthur Ross Wilson was not born until 1848 at Little Bowden, Niorthamptonshire I doubt if it is the right one. They had one more son, Frank Liddell born in 1850 and she died a few years later c.1853, probably in London though i have not found her d.c. There are just too many Mary Wilsons dying around this time In March 1856 Thomas married Mary's first cousin, Barbara Rhodes, of Invergarry, Invernessshire. She had been despatched by the large Rhodes family to help Thos look after his two young sons. This second marriage took place at Faichem, Invergarry and it was from the very detailed Scottish records that I first discovered the names of the groom's parents, John Wilson and Sarah Wilson, No indication if either was still living but nevertheless I tried tracking them down in both English and Scottish census records without success. The second marriage produced three sons between 1859 and 1862, all born in Islington, North London; Christopher, Thomas Rhodes (sadly retarded) and Herbert Keith.The family took off for India in mid 1865, where Thos had been appointed Contractor's Agent for a new railway building near Delhi, with half brother Arthur Ross in tow. His younger brother, Frank, had taken off for the States weeks earlier, aged 14, and later became a clergyman there. Arthur was to make his home in India and died there in 1923. Both my grandfather and father were born in India (1881 and 1909 respectively) Thomas died in India in November 1867 just days after Barbara gave birth to his only daughter, Wemyss Elizabeth Ada. I have be in touch with Frank Liddell's family in both the States and Canada but they know nothing about the early Wilsons. Both my grandfather and father were only sons so I have been denied the benefit of Wilson cousins to help me in my search. As you can see there is very little to go on if you want to find an earlier Wilson connection in Scotland. best wishes, Nick > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > SCT-CLACKMANNANSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi Nick, I played with the IGI. Had some difficulties until I figured out the Mary FORBES was actually Margaret FORBES. The following is what I pulled together: JOHN WILSON & MARGARET FORBES md. 22 SEP 1781 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland Batch # M114658, years covered 1773 - 1798, extracted from FHL film # 1040206 (Old Parochial Registers for Alloa) Children: MARY WILSON bap. 10 JUL 1783 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland Batch # C114658, years covered 1775 - 1800, extracted from FHL film # 1040206 JOHN WILSON b. 21 SEP 1785, bap. 23 SEP 1785 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland LDS Member submitted MARGARET WILSON b. 10 MAR 1791, bap. 14 MAR 1791 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland LDS Member submitted ROBERT WILSON bap. 23 OCT 1796 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland Batch # C114658, years covered 1775 - 1800, extracted from FHL film # 1040206 JOHN WILSON bap. 04 JAN 1790 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland Batch # C114658, years covered 1775 - 1800, extracted from FHL film # 1040206 John Wilson b. 24 NOV 1794 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland md. Sarah Wilson 22 SEP 1781 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland (extracted marriage date for John's parents) LDS Member submitted The dates from the member submissions may or may not be correct. If they found the information in the extracted records and did the temple work to get them in the IGI, you usually don't find the information in the file again as extracted. I may be able to check those entries next Wednesday for you. I have seen some LDS member submissions that I have not been able to verify and therefore have no idea where they got them. I could not find a marriage for John WILSON & Sarah WILSON 1824 +/- 10, even tried 1834 +/- 20. Are you starting with John WILSON & Margaret FORBES and working on descendants or starting with John WILSON & Sarah WILSON? If the latter, can you give me some information of their children & how you got to them?

Hello John, I am no help as regards JOHN WILSON as requested, but as I have been given to understand that my Wilsons, the earliest of which ROBERT WILSON came from Dollar in Clackmanshire for whom I have a birth-date of 1832 from somewhere. Another source however suggests that he came from Fifeshire. He had four children, Robert, Sarah Anne, William & Jane, all born in Australia.. Any assistance which you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
