Canada Lookup Request / Re: Toronto marriage Wilson/Johnstone
« on: Saturday 07 March 09 18:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Jeanieb, thank you so much for the information. I am afraid I really don't know very much about the Johnstone family. I only know that name through the newspaper clipping shown at the beginning of this thread. My side of the family are the Wilsons. Your last post sounds interesting though. I'd be very grateful if you could follow this lead if its not too much trouble. The only help I can give is that the Mary I am looking for was the daughter of Hugh Wilson and Kathleen Troy. They were married in 1912 Ontario.
If you can help with any other info that would be great. Thanks very much.

Hello Donna, thank you so much for the offer of look ups in Canada. I am looking for information regarding Mary Anna Wilson who married James Clare Johnstone of Lucknow Ontario. I would really like to trace any descendants. Any help is appreciated.  I dont know why Uncle Danny was called Daniel White Wilson, he was the only one in the family who had this middle name. I cannot see a connection with your Wilsons, but am happy to investigate further. You never know.......
Regards....

Carole, I think the confusion was caused by the details in a book called Coleraine Heroes. The details of the 2 different Georges have been mixed up. Of course you are right, when you look at the details in black and white, they are very different.
Thank you for your time in looking up for me.

Carole - the facts I have are:
George Wilson born April 1894, baptised May 1894. Father John Wilson, Coleraine, Co. Derry. N. Ireland. Coleraine Chronicle states that he was home on leave in October 1914 to Woodbine Terrace, Coleraine. He was a private in the Naval Brigade. He was discharged medically unfit from Anson Battalion on 27.2.1915. He died in hospital in 1917. Afraid I dont know whether he was married or not. This George is definitely my relative, but the details of the George in Plymouth are also familiar and similar...........very confusing!!!

Hello there, nice to hear from you. This George Wilson is a real mystery, either there are two of them with similar details, or some of the details we have are wrong or another theory is that his father went over to England, before he married Lizzie Dysart, had a quick fling, fathered George (who was brought up in Bridgnorth) and then went back to Coleraine to start another family. Goodness knows - and they say WE live in an age of promiscuity!!!! Did you notice that both times John Wilson was married, there was always a child already on the way?

.Carole - the CWGC states his no. PLY/9192 HMS Carysfort, Royal Marine Light Infantry.
The discharge papers say CLYDE2/2404. Anson Battalion.
The naval war deaths 1914-1921 state G. Wilson Pte. (Ship) Carysfort, year of death 1917.
He is listed on the Terrace Row Presbyterian Church Roll of Honour (Coleraine)
so I'm really confused.

Carole - that was quick. Thank you very much for taking time and trouble to look up for me. I did already have the info from CWGC, but wasn't 100% sure of it because of the other info about the date of birth. Its a bit of a mystery this one, because the CWGC says he was born in Bridgnorth and lived in Plymouth. However, I have his naval discharge papers which state his date of birth 8.4.94. living in Port Glasgow, next of kin John Wilson (father) Coleraine, Co. Derry, N. Ireland. This info ties in with the fact that my relatives lived in Coleraine, Co. Derry. I just can't fathom it out.
