Cavan / Re: Wilson's in County Cavan
« on: Friday 12 October 18 11:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi I meant Presbyterian. My Wilsons .....gr. Grandpa William and gr. Grandma Ann Jane Davidson married at a meeting house in Bailieborough. He went to Knockbride church. I visited the church in Knockbride last year. What a thrill! There is a very big squared off gravesite that are Wilsons” there is no marker. I hope one day to have a little marker put there...labelled Wilson family.  I also visited the Wilson house in Drumbar. The original house was still there....cement blocks and thatched roof....partly falling in. What a wonderful 3 days I had there....I met family through the Davidson’s....and also through the Mulligans. There were three groups of Wilsons...I don’t have my info with me...one was the “rock” Wilsons...will have to look when home for other two. Melody

Hello.....I too have Wilson ancestors from Knockbride Parish. My William Wilson was born approx 1836 and came to Canada in 1871. He did have siblings Jane, and John who went to the states and Mary whose children went to Australia. Their father was John Wilson and mother was Jane (possibly Parr) Has DNA been done? my Gedmatch no. is A009100.. Melody

Hello, William Wilson and Mary Elizabeth Long had a son Thomas .....from this son he had a son William who along with Ann Jane Davidson came to Port Hope Canada.  They had approx. 7 sons, and settled in Cartwright.  I would love to be able to complete more of this picture, Williams brothers families on down, either William has there ever been a Wilson re-union in Ireland?  This is the year of the gathering so we heard on the advertisements.  A dream would be to go to Cavan...Melody

I too am a descendant of William Wilson and Mary Elizabeth Long of Cavan County.  They had a son () and from that son came William Wilson who married Ann Jane Davidson from Belfast.  Apparently the Davidsons had a clothing store in Belfast which burned down.  William and Ann Jane Davidson are my great grand parents.  They came or moved to Port Hope, Ontario, Canada by ship and then settled in a small community called Blackstock or Cartwright.  They had about 7 sons one of which was my grandfather Albert Wilson.  The year was roughly 1878 that William and Ann Jane are shown on the Census.  The family is buried in Prince Albert Cemetery, Ontario.  I would like to contact either William's descendants....thank you,Melody
