Stirlingshire / Re: Wilson of Larbert
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 04:20 BST (UK)  »
Resurrecting an old and related post.  Just wondering if anyone has any new or updated information to add to this.

So far I've traced my Scottish ancestry back to Robert Wilson and Isobel Laird with relative certainty.  I have the following information for Robert and Isobel -

Robert Wilson
Isobel Laird
  Birth: 28 Apr 1754, Falkirk, Stirlingshire
  Marriage: about 1777, Larbert, Stirlingshire
  Children: Peter, Girzel, William, Adam, Janet, Robert, Isobel, Robert, James, and
  Margaret

I did not list any birth information for Robert because I'm confused at this point in time as to who his parents were.  I've seen various references to James Wilson and Margaret Harrower, Patrick/Peter Wilson and Janet Gordon, and "Peter or Patrick" Wilson and Janet Gordon.  I have the following information on the three couples -

James Wilson
  Birth: about 1727, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
Margaret Harrower
  Birth: about 1731, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Marriage: 28 May 1752, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire

Patrick/Peter Wilson
  Birth: about 1722, Cockpen, Midlothian
Janet Gordon
  Birth: 1 Jun 1722
  Baptism/Christening: 13 Jun 1722, Dalkeith, Midlothian
  Marriage: 15 Apr 1743, Lasswade, Midlothian

"Peter or Patrick" Wilson
  Birth: about 1731
  Baptism/Christening: 17 Feb 1731, Muiravonside, Stirlingshire
Janet Gordon
  Birth: about 1735, Muiravonside, Stirlingshire
  Marriage: about 1755, Muiravonside, Stirlingshire

Does anyone have any idea which of those three couples were Robert Wilson's parents?  I'm trying to trace my Scottish ancestry back as far as I can in an attempt to determine which clan the Wilson's that I'm related to are a part of.  I've most often seen Wilson mentioned as a sept to Clan Gunn, Clan Innes, and Clan MacFarlane.  Any help is appreciated!

Cheers, caliscot

Seoras, upon doing some further research, I think that I spoke too soon earlier and for that I apologize.  I have recently been able to find the following children for James Wilson and Margaret Harrower - Mary, James, Robert, Charles, Alexander, Elisabeth, and Charlotte.  I have the following information for the children -

Mary Willson
  Baptism/Christening: 11 Feb 1753, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Willson and Margarat Harrower
James Willson
  Baptism/Christening: 19 Jul 1755, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Willson and Margret Harrower
Robert Willson
  Baptism/Christening: 08 May 1757, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Willson and Margret Harrower
Charles Willson
  Baptism/Christening: 15 Apr 1759, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Willson and Margret Harrouer
Alexander Willson
  Baptism/Christening: 19 Apr 1761, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Willson and Margret Harrower
Elisabeth Wilson
  Baptism/Christening: 10 Mar 1765, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Wilson and Margret Harrower
Charlotte Wilson
  Baptism/Christening: 12 Apr 1767, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
  Parents: James Wilson and Margaret Harrouer

So, yes, I do now have those other children and more.  I included the parents names in the above info to show the spelling differences.  Any additional information on James Wilson (Willson?) is appreciated!

Cheers, caliscot

Thanks very much for the reply, Seoras.  Unfortunately from the information that I've been able to find so far I've only seen one child listed for James Wilson and Margaret Harrower, their son Robert.  Sorry that my original post on their Children was unclear.  I have the following information for Robert -

Robert Wilson
  Born: about 1757, Larbert, Stirlingshire
  Christening: 8 May 1757, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire
Isobel Laird
  Born: 28 Apr 1754, Falkirk, Stirlingshire
  Married: about 1777, Larbert, Stirlingshire
  Children: Peter, Grizel, William, Adam, Isobel, Robert, James, and Margaret

Any additional information on James Wilson from my original post is appreciated!

Cheers, caliscot

Does anyone have any additional information on James Wilson, his parents, or the family tree further back in time?  Any help is appreciated!
