James Wilson

[aghadowey]

I did find one marriage between a James Wilson and an Isabella Hamilton in 1847 in Co Down.

What about this marriage of a James Wilson, son of Thomas, to Isabella Hamilton in 3 Aug.1849- both given as age 24 so born c1825-

Thanks very much for your message and information, I'm very grateful. I need to order a photocopy of the marriage certificate to study. My James Wilson was born in 1827, but it  could still be the correct one ...

Yes, Umballa, India, most probably in the late 1850s ...

Hello,

Just a line to thank everyone for their contributions to my search. I've finally discovered that Corporal (later Sergeant) James Wilson married Isabella Hamilton (who was tragically later killed by tigers in India) at Birr / Parsonstown, County Offaly, Ireland on 3 August 1849. I've put the marriage certificate on my family tree on Wikitree if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Hi Aghadowey,

Thanks again for your earlier post. Turns out you were right! I ordered a copy of the original marriage certificate and Corporal (later Sergeant) James Wilson did indeed marry my Isabella Hamilton at Birr / Parsonstown on 3 August 1849. I had to check the certificate to make sure he was in the 89th Regiment of Foot, which was correct.

Thanks!

Edwin ('Monty')
