Elizabeth Mary Wilson born about 1850

[Andro93]

Elizabeth Mary Wilson was the youngest daughter of Walter Wilson, a Glasgow merchant. She went to Australia, where she married John Thoms. Elizabeth died in Australia in 1903 aged 52. Does anyone have information about her parents?

Do you know when she was born and when she married?

[Andro93]

She was married in Victoria, Australia in 1867.

There is a Wilson family going to Australia in 1854 might that be her?

Walter 48 grocer
Elizabeth 39
Margaret 21
William 19
Walter 9
Elizabeth Mary 3
George 1

This could be the family in 1851

Walter Wilson 45 wholesale grocer born Glasgow
Elizabeth 38 born England
John 19
Margaret 17
William 16
Walter 5

All children born Glasgow

That is a great help! Thank you. I know Walter died before the wedding in 1867 and assumed he died in Glasgow. This makes things more interesting!

There's a death in 1863 that might be him, birth year matches, he is 57.  Death place Victoria.

Names his father as John and mother as Hargaret (probably Margaret) Thomson.

Can't see any more info than that I'm afraid just a transcription as above.

Thank you. I was going to look at the Victoria site.
