Cumberland / Re: John Wilson of Cardewlees Farm, Dalston
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 01:13 GMT (UK) »
This is exactly my challenge - I am trying to find a Wilson in a haystack.
When and where was Rev Robert Wilson born ? Rev Robert was born in Dalston, Cumbria in 1802 (bap 31 Mar) and married Eliza Kirkman of Bolton. He died in 1864 in Maryport.
What was the name of his son ? - John, who was the third son of Rev. Robert Wilson. He was in Kirkdale in Liverpool in 1861 census as a lodgteer and pupil teacher. His great uncle left him a substantial sum in 1866 when he died, which he would inherit when he reached the age of 25 in 1872. He inherited a large sum to purchase an estate in Cumberland - and I would love to find out if he did so.
