Welcome to this weeks Scavenger Hunt...........this will help two people on RC.........Romilly and Wombat, so get your thinking caps on and get going.
Good Luck and Good Hunting
Barbara
*********************************
Mine is for my Grandfather, William James Wilson, born Manchester 1860/'61, married in Swansea June 1893 to my Grandmother Margaret Rees. (He says he's 32 on this Cert, father William Wilson deceased, occupation Stone Mason, - thats his father not him. He was a House Painter).
I've got him on the 1901 Census for Wales, when he's 40yrs, House Painter, living at 113 St Helens Road, Swansea.
He died in a Nursing Home in Hendon, (is that Middlesex?) in December 1937, at 77yrs.
My problem is that I can't find a definate Birth Entry for him, & can't find him on any of the other Censuses:-(((
I've ordered lots of certs which have been wrong:-(
I have asked about him on here fairly recently, (January I think) but although that led to a merry chase around, I am no further on...
If you think this is too soon to rake him up again, let me know, - as Wombat on here (My Uncle in Oz) also have a missing g/g/Grandfather, William James Warren who is lost in Oxford in 1857
That should be.........
'Wombat on here & me share a missing G/Grandfather!!!'

if he marriedin 1893 he could possibly be stil at home in 1891 do you think?
RG12; 3480; 55; 3
remeber the occupations given were only at that time
I think thats the William James Wilson in Kirkby Ireleth, Lancs who I had assumed was my one. However, on the 1911 Census that one is still single & living at home, whereas my Grandfather was married to my Grandmother, living in Swansea & had 6 sons!
That one did look a very good match though, & the father's job, (Slate Quarrier) wasn't that different to a Stone Mason...& so I had thought that I'd found him, - until the 1911 that was :-(((

can youput link up from previus post so we are not duplicating please do you know his mothers name? Unfortunately no...(Although I wonder if it could have been Alice, - this is because one of his sons was initially registered as a girl, - a mistake apparantly  & so for 3months Ernest Rencella Wilson was Alice Rencella Wilson)have you found his father on the previous census ? No definate matches unfortunately. He is 'deceased' on WJW's Marriage Cert, but I don't know by how long).just going off on a tangent (already) but if his mother and father were not married at time of his borth it is conceivable to think he could have bene registered under the mothers maiden name Sadly I have no ideas here, - although I spent ages looking under his son's middle names:-(

to find his birth would be extremely difficult as how many William Wilsons had a son called William?
you won't be able to use the mothers name as a checking point. and as you probably know need to find him in the census to get his mothers name
i would suggest you try historical directires to look for William Wilson stone mason as hes likely to be listed
this wil give an address to narrow down the search
William himself might be listed as a house painter
i would assume he (william the father) was alive in 1859 and suggest you start there and work forward
i assume that you dont have any extended family members with William in the census that you have him on.
Hi Toni,
Thanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately I've already tried most of this...without success:-(
I'm on the verge of just putting this all away & giving up on ever finding my Grandfather's family:-(((
On the 1901 Census for Wales RG13/5074 William James Wilson is with his wife Margaret & four of their sons, - no extended family.
I'm hoping that there might be more on the 1911, - but Glamorgan isn't live on there yet.
Sometimes other people can see the obvious...when you've gone off on so many tangents yourself that you're missing it. (Thats what I'm hoping anyway).

Hi Again,
I had wondered if he was being 'somewhat economical with the truth' about his DOB, but he does seem to stick fairly consistently to end of 1860/beginning of 1861.
Margaret Rees was born in November 1867, - but I wouldn't imagine that she was older than him...
Here's a pic of them with two of their sons in 1897.
Romilly.
