Hi Sandra,
As for Charles Wilson born around 1837 all I know is that on the census and his marriage it states he was born in New York. Young Charles went to sea as most of the men in Liverpool with it being a big port. When young Charles got married his best man was James Wilson, I have checked that out and reached a brick wall.
I have a feeling his family are Irish/Scottish descendants.
The second daughter born was named Harriet Emily which I suspect is Charles's mother's name.
Regards
Sophia

Thank you Sandra,

That finally takes another possible death out of the picture.  I have been years trying to find Charles Junior's death. I have him leaving a ship in Liverpool on 29th December, 1904. His wife re-married 28th March 1907. I have ordered a few certificates who match the age around those years but that are always wrong. I am certain he died abroad.
Thank you again for eliminating that death.
Regards
Sophia

The family stayed in Liverpool U.K. and the witness's names on the marriage is Mary Murphy and Daniel Wright. His address on the marriage cert. is a street where all the boarding houses where for the American sailors. As for naming patterns I do not know about that as I do not know anything about their parents.

I am trying to find information regarding my great grandfather Charles Wilson born roughly 1837 in New York.  He married in Liverpool,England in 1864 to a Jane Bagnall age 17. Charles was a merchant seaman and his father James Wilson is stated as a Farmer. Jane's father is stated as Samuel and a shoemaker. We have all the information regarding the family going forward, but cannot seem to make a breakthrough regarding Charles family.

Charles and Jane had a son born 1878 in Liverpool, he also was a merchant seaman. He died between December 1904 and 1906. We cannot find his death and believe he died abroad, one death keeps coming up is one in New Jersey around that time.

I would appreciate any help.
Regards
Sophia

Hi Carol,

Thank you for looking up that information, but I have all the information on the family in Liverpool and the crew list. I even have the death cert. for that sailor it is  one of my many for Charles jun. I have been to London and looked in the archives of deaths at sea to no avail. I remember my grandmother talking about him that he died away and I presumed it was at sea, but now I am convinced it was while he was abroad. I am really interested in the Wilson side of the family in New York, I also think they were from Northern Ireland and Scotland. Once again Thank you for your swift help

Charles senior was born about 1837 in New York and Charles junior was born 1878 in Liverpool. Yes Jane was only 17 I got the Bishop's transcripts were they got permission to wed and it gave no more information than on the marriage cert.

Can anyway help me break down a brick wall in my family tree. I am interested in Charles Wilson born about 1837 in New York but married my great grandmother Jane Bagnall in Liverpool. On their marriage cert. it states that his father is James Wilson and he is a farmer. Charles and his son were merchan seamen. His son was born in 1878 and died between 1904 and 1908. I feel he died abroad as despite in depth research I have been not able to find anything after December 1904, when he was discharged from a ship. I feel Charles did have some relatives near by but have not been able to make the connections.
