I am trying to establish if there is a connection between the names Wilson and Tower in Berwick on Tweed. My cousin was given the name Tower as a middle name believing it to have a connection with her maternal Grandfather's family the Wilsons. Her grandfather was Adam Gladstone Wilson B. c 1899 Berwick on Tweed.
Hoping the puzzle can be solved.
Many thanks Heather

I have most of this info. Thanks, but can not find any links to the Tower side of things, it appears to be a mystery. I have been told the Tower/wilsons were quite affluent and lived in a big house around Berwick
Cheers Heather

Ok, to be able to work backwards/forwards to find a Tower connection we will need this info, I'm just working systematically through it all, then hopefully we'll find a Tower. Can you give any further information to save me (and others looking it all up again!) 
The more info you can provide us with then it will save time and hopefully we'll find the Tower connection quicker!

Right ho!
So this is them in 1861
Blakewell Road, Tweedmouth
Josh Wilson Jn, head, 23, Iron Foundries Clerk
Mary Wilson wife, 23
Elizabeth F Wilson, daughter, 2
Phillis L Wilson, daughter, 1 month
Josh is actually Jos with a h superscript to the Jos, which is usually short for Joseph
There are a few possible marriage in Northumberland between Mary being 17 and the first child being born but none are in Berwick, and many have a spouse missing on FreeBMD

I can't find Mr Gladstone or a marriage between Jane and a Mr Gladstone. I wonder if Tower is on the Gladstone side?

Hi
In reply to your last message, Jane Gladstone nee Knox married Alexander Gladstone c.1827 but have not got a marriage. I am sure the Tower connection is on the Wilson side
