Hi Annejay,
Sorry, as I expected the information I had was wrong.
The double-barrel surname we have is a nuisance. making tracing relatives very difficult.
My grandfatheer used it but on his marriage certificate my great grandfather just used Wilson.
Sorry about that.

The Common Room / Re: Smith-Wilson family name
« on: Wednesday 21 July 10 15:37 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help trace my family or at least the origin of this awkard surnam.
I was led to believe it originated in Scotland but am not sure.
I was led to believe my ancestors moved to Liverpool, where I was born, from Scotland.
There is a tenuous link on another posting to a Sullivan family who moved to Liverpool from Scotland in the mid 1800's.
I would appreciate any help as I am getting nowhere.
thanks.

Hi AnnejayThis is my first posting so sorry for butting in.
Some of the information you have seems to offer a link to my family indirectly.
My family is the Smith-Wilson family of Liverpool and I am led to believe from your postings that we may have a link, albeit tenuous to the Sullivan/jamieson link to the Rooney family. I believe my grandparents on my fathers side may have originated from Scotland just as the John Sullivan and Janet Jamieson family did.
My parents even considered emigrating to New Zealand, where I believe you might be, just like your grandmother.
If there is any link I would like to hear of it.
Thanks.
