I am looking for John Wilson b 1859 Lancashire and his wife Nancy b 1856 Lancashire (although in some census in UK her birthplace is shown as Yorkshire) They married in 1892 as widowers and then seem to have disappeared from records in UK. I have found a google article about John's father (Michael Wilson) which says he helped two of his sons to set up in Manitoba. ( Many of Nancy's birth family (Hird) emigrated to Ontario though) Would very much appreciate any help to see if they did in fact come to Canada probably before 1901. Thank you

Good Morning,
Very many thanks to everyone for so much information. Also for some new lines to follow. Nancy was the sister of my paternal gt grandmother, and her first husband William Grime was related through this line too. These little villages in Yorkshire and East Lancashire were small and had interconnected families !
Looking forward to spending the day with new reseaches
Thank you all, Brenda

John and Nancy are my Grandfather's (William Grime Wilson 1893-1962) parents. There is a detailed family history in Rathwell, Manitoba. The family history is Published in the Twixt Hill and Vale book by the Rathwell historic committee.

If you have not already seen it, there is an interesting article in North Craven Heritage Trust Journal 2005 ( available to see online ) about Brunton House, Feizor , home of John Wilson, and more particularly of his father Michael Wilson
