Hello again, Thanks for that Mary Lou, but it is quite close to his brother Joseph's birth in March Qtr. 1891. I am not ruling it out yet, however! The birth-place is also an issue: all Edmond's other siblings were born in Halifax: again not impossible. I would need the birth certificate to resolve this one.

I was unsure about this rumoured extra brother but I see that there were 6 'Total Children Born Alive' to W William Henry WILSON (b 1860 Halifax) and Elizabeth JOWETT (b 1859 Clayton, Bradford) but only 5 Children Still Living'. I was told he was called Edmond but possibly spelt Edmund and possibly born between 1892 and 1901, but I cannot find any trace of him: there is no mention of him in the 1901 census. Any ideas - the census page reference is RG14PN26487 RG78PN1528B RD496 SD5 ED36 SN74. Thank you. Incidentally, I have a good history of this Wilson family from Samuel Wilson(born about 1780) and Mary Carter down to William and Elizabeth mentioned above. Elizabeth and all her children emigrated to Canada on various dates from 1913 onwards. I am still looking for children of Edward's siblings (having already found some cousins).
