1851 has no entries with a birthplace of Chatham but has 4 entries born in other areas of Kent

If you have him on later censuses - was he married and were there any children pre-1851

Was he living in Kent on later censuses

If unmarried - what was his occupation

The only census I have him on is 1861 in Manchester. He was 40, occupation boilermaker, born Chatham, Kent.
He was married but oldest child was 7, so he could have been single in 1851. Have no look finding marriage cert. either.
He may have left Kent already too! He may have been at sea, his father was a seaman. A difficult one.
Thanks for trying.

Thanks bearkat, but I do have that, and all the other Wilsons of Chatham!!!!. I just cannot find him on the 41 or 51 census.
I am trying to join the dots between him and MY Thomas Wilson. Not any easy task as I cannot find his marriage either.

Hi Amram

If I'm looking at the correct family in 1861 Manchester (RG9/2957 folio 57 page 3) - have you checked for marriages in Scotland given Jane's birthplace - if you can't find one in England?

Casalguidi :)

Oh yes! Lots of Janet, jeanette mcdonalds in Scotland married to a thomas wilson!! Not knowing where exactly she came from doesnt help.
Finding him in a census of 41 or 51 would help narrow my search. If he was in manchester in 51, not much hope as much was water-damaged in that census.
thanks for your interest.... one thing I am sure of, that is where the red hair came from ;D

PS... census says Jane. birth cert. of Thomas jnr says Janet. so its Jane, Janet or variations therof!!!!

Hello, we seem to be looking at the same Thomas Wilson. Mine was father of James, born Manchester 1854, my gt. grandfather!
Any research seems to come up with Thomas in Chatham but I am in the same predicament as you, is it the correct Thomas.
The names make sense, son named after his father, one after himself and daughter after his mother.
What is your link to Thomas senior?

Hi Jessie123
Was your James Wilson married to an Amanda Mooney?

If so I have his birth certificate,  born December 1852, in Newton Heath, Mcr. It is the right one as both him and Thomas have father Thomas Wilson boilermaker, mother Jane(t) McDonald. His age varies within a year or two from one census to another.

Let me know if we have a match, this brickwall is doing me in. I have stuff at the Chatham end, but so far nothing to link James and Thomas to the James Wilson and Mary Ann in Chatham

cheers
