Peter Wilson (1778-1853), born in Larbert is my 3rd great grandfather.  He married Isobel Brown.  His father, Robert Wilson (b 9 Aug 1756) was married to Isobel Laird.  I don't know her parents names, or anything about her.  Does someone have information?  Thanks.  This is my first post.

From family trees on ancestry, Isobel shows as having died in 1862, after the start of official registration in Scotland (from 1855). The official source for BMDs and images in Scotlands is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  There is a death showing for an Isobel Brown/Wilson in Larbert in 1862, aged 86.  I am guessing this might be the source of information on Isobel's parents, which you can follow up to confirm.

On the 1861 census, there is an entry for an Isobel Wilson, 85, b. Larbert and living at Bark Of Byke in Larbert.

Thanks so much, Monica L.  I missed the 1851 census, which shouldn't have happened because I belong to ancestry.com  My line does go through David Wilson (born 18 Jun 1806).  I haven't visited Scotland's people yet, but I plan to.

David's sister Ann, who looks to have married a John Penman. She died on 6 Jun 1897 in Larbert. On her death reg., her father Peter shows as a coal miner. You might find some monumental inscriptions for burials for the general family here www.memento-mori.co.uk which is particularly strong for the Stirlingshire area, including the Larbert cemeteries.

Hi.  Am wholly new to this forum. And a bit lost. However,  I note that Rbt. Wilson & Isabella Laird are my ancestors at 7 (?) generations. Their daughter Isabella married John Perrie who is my gt gt gt grandfather. The Perries (or Peerie in the family speak) were also from Larbert at that time. I have some information on them but all the information on the Wilsons is new to me and very interesting. I know that there were still Stirlingshire-Larbert framily links into the twentieth century. Any further information on Wilson/Perrie would be most welcome.  Walter Perrie

My line comes through Peter Wilson - son of Robert Wilson & Isobel Laird; so I have almost no information, unfortunately, concerning their daughter Isabella and her husband, John Perrie. If you want information that I have and you are a member of ancestry.com, my tree is a public one and is named the Gale & Wilson Family Tree.  Sorry, I can't be of more help.
