I am looking, and have been for quite a while, a Henry Wilson. According to all census he appears in to be born in Chedworth, Gloucestershire in 1806 and a master plasterer by trade.
In Chedworth graveyard there is a John Wilson, whom i found on the census to be the son of Christopher Wilson; Christopher was born in Chedworth in 1816, and was also a plasterer by trade.
Fancifully i have a notion that Christopher may be a brother but FreeReg only shows the following results for Wilsons born in Chedworth around that time;
7 Baptisms 07 Jun 1798 WILSON William Gloucestershire Chedworth Mother Surname, Father Surname
8 Baptisms 07 Jun 1798 WILSON Sarah Gloucestershire Chedworth Mother Surname, Father Surname
9 Baptisms 27 Dec 1803 WILSON Edmund Gloucestershire Chedworth Mother Surname, Father Surname
10 Baptisms 20 Apr 1816 WILSON Christopher Gloucestershire Chedworth Mother Surname, Father Surname
11 Baptisms 11 Nov 1805 Sarah Gloucestershire Chedworth Mother Surname
He married an Elizabeth Tuffley;
1 Marriages 23 May 1825 WILSON Henry Gloucestershire Chedworth Groom Surname
...and had three children that i am aware of William, John and Sarah.
Can anyone help me in this quest, and maybe the parent entries on the above parish records?
Many Thanks.

It's been a year since i looked at this side of the family and i can't seem to make head nor tail of this one.
Henry Wilson b1804 under the non conformist registers has the parents Simon and Sarah, this i believe to be Sarah Evans due to a marriage record in Chedworth fitting in nicely.
There are a couple of other children to Simon and Sarah, but even though there is quite an extensive amount of Wilson's in Chedworth from 1600-1800 i can't seem to find Simon going backwards.
There is a will for a Simon Wilson who dies in 1842, which puts him at about 82 years old according to the 1841 census, which means he would have fathered my direct relative in his late 40s. This will claims of sons and daughters called Catherine, Henry, John, Betty, George.
I'm still no closer, to finding out if its the same Simon however.
I must add that Henry was not in Chedworth around the time of this will as he had moved to Birmingham. He remained a plasterer however...it seems as though in the 1841 census the Simon and George who are there are both plasterers.
Can anyone help decipher this one.

Hi Tim,
I realise that it is 8 years but I have just found your post via Google.
Henry is my Great Great Great grandfather. His son William with wife elizabeth wright and son Thomas emigrated to South Australia arriving 12 May 1855 on the "Europa". William was a plasterer by trade and was quite successful in Adelaide. Son Thomas (great grandfather), carried on the (very old) tradition but died in 1885 at only 33, leaving 5 1/2 children, including my grandfather Thomas Rudolph.. The plastering stopped with him after literally hundreds of years. Henry died in Birmingham in 1854. His other son John carried on as a builder. There is a large extended family in that area. A daughter Sarah is a bit of an unknown with only a possible marriage.
Henry's father was Simon. I have followed them back to William Wilson marrying katherine Drake circa 1688 with son William born 1689.
I have just started to edit/polish a document/narrative and would be pleased to send you a copy when finished - probably upload it here if this gets through to you.
Am also keen to see where you fit in. I thought I had the families covered. I have a family tree on Ancestry but I haven't been financial few about 4 years. I think it is still there.
