Looking for descendants of John Wilson & Annabella Graham.
He was a brewer and spirit merchant and died at Laurieston, Glasgow on 30 April 1840.
The 1841 census for Portland St, Gorbals shows:
Name Age Occupation Where born
Annabella 35 Brewer Outside county
Jean 15 Lanarkshire
Margaret 14
Thomas 9
Alexander 5
John 4
George 2
Annabella 1
Thomas 45 Clerk Outside county
(Thomas could be John's brother)
The household also shows:
Byrce Louden 25 Shopman
John Ritchie 15 Shopman
I think Jean may have married John Ritchie.
I believe Margaret & Annabella didn't marry.
Thomas & Alexander – whereabouts unknown, but could have been involved with the East India Company as were John & George.
John married Margaret Moncrieff Jameson and were living in Manchester c. 1900.
They had the following children – (ages @ 1891 census):
John 15
Alexander Jameson 14
Agnes Borlas 12
Annabella G. 9
After many hours of searching the 1901 census I found John (64), Margaret (57) & Annabella (19) staying with their son Alex (24) in London!!
George is my Gt-grandfather and arrived in NZ in 1874 – we don't know why he came. He had a ship-board romance & married 3 days after arrival.
Would love to hear from anyone who has any of these people in their "tree".
Bren.
