William Wilson Mary Watson
« on: Tuesday 25 August 09 09:53 UTC (UK) »
Hi All
I'm looking for William Wilson who was married to Mary Watson who I think lived in Mullingar. Their son William's marriage certificate, Geelong Victoria, April 1862 states that he was born in Mullingar that his father was a farmer.
I'm not even certain that they didn't at some stage come to Australia. Although a search of shipping has also told me nothing.
A search of the igi elicited nothing.
A google search also elicited nothing.
Any ideas of where I could search next would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Wren.

You don't mention when son William was born but if he married in 1862 then likely born 1840 or earlier. Civil registration of Catolic marriages in Ireland started 1864, other marriages from 1845. Therefore you need to search for church records (if they exist).
IGI would have few records from that period and is no means complete. However, if you go to LDS online catalogue (www.familysearch.org) and check what church records they've microfilmed you might find some of the right religion and period.

Hi Aghadowey
THanks for your suggestion. William was born c 1833. I did a search of what was available on the igi, but nothing. I guess with such an early birth date its not going to be easy.
It appears that William Junior  was Protestant as they were married in the Anglican Church. However his wife was Presbyterian and for the remainder of their lives they were staunch supporters of the Presbyterian church in their local community.
With such a common name the searchis going to be less than easy.
Thanks
Wren
