Brennan/Wilson

[crackpot]

Looking for info. on Brennan(sometimes spelled Brennen) and Wilson families. William Brennan was a blacksmith. His daughter Margaret married James Henry Wilson in 1882 at the parish church in St. George Hanover Square. They had 3 children----Ellen, Cissy(Cecelia) and Humphrey. It looks like James was married once prior to this marriage and had one son named James--born about 1884. James died in 1898. He was a lastmaker and his father named James was also a lastmaker. Margaret died in 1940 in London. Ellen and Cissy also lived pretty well all their lives in London and both died there.

Here's James jnr and snr in 1881.

Emma Hanks abt 1852  Chelsea, Middlesex, Wife  14 Polygon, St Pancras, London,
James Wilson abt 1836  Westminster, Middlesex,  Boarder  14 Polygon, St Pancras, London  Last maker Boot
James Wilson abt 1874  Westminster, Middlesex,Boarder  14 Polygon, St Pancras, London,

I'll see if I can pinpoint him in 1871.Although it may not be too easy with such a common surname.

All the best

Found him in 1871-easier than I thought 
I wonder if he ever was married you know? As he's 35 and still at home with mum in 71.Maybe he just got custody of James- or perhaps he did marry and she died all very quickly.

At 8 Carnaby Street,Golden Square Westminster is...

Head Mary Wilson widowed 56 housekeeper b Bath
James Wilson son unm 35 last maker b Westminster
Harry Wilson son unm 27    "     "         b St Andrews? Holborn
Emma Wilson dau  unm 20 b Chelsea
William Wilson son unm 18 b Chelsea  French Polisher

RG10/138 folio 53 page 3

ALL you need to do now  is find James junior's birth cert to confirm who mum was 


Hope this helps
