[E.M. Wilson]

Exactly what I thought.  You have ougatz, goose eggs, nada, zilch.

You have no proof and you need my cousin to take the Y-DNA test.
I'm glad you admit it.

You have better things to do? Really?  Why were you looking up my Aunt Marjorie? Were
you looking up Doris and Freda too? Don't answer me because I really don't care.  Whatever
you're trying to accomplish with your kaput geneological research, I guarantee it's not going to happen for you.

Sure. You don't have anything better to do.

No, wasn't looking them up...  A relative of Gordon Cummins the "Blackout Ripper" approached me via Ancestry...   "Peter Wood", I gave him your contact details but he said you never replied to him.

The only possible Walter Wilson that is recorded on Scotland's People that fits in with Walter Wilson's life span is the one born in 1859 and he died at age 9.  And that would have meant that his alleged father, died when he was three years old in 1862.

Brett you said:

The 1st was my GG Grandfather Wlater Wilson who emigrated to Australia, the Second was a Jessie/Janet Wilson when he was married to a Jessie/Janet Gray, the 3rd was around 1840 another male child who emigrated to New Zealand.

Peter Wood never contacted me. 

If this is true, then give me Peter Wood's contact information.  You can email it to me, you know my email.

He here in June 1853, 3rd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article4793225

If he sailed in 1852, you should find him on the Scots 1841 and 1851 censuses.

Hi E.M.,

I think that you may not be aware that you are in a public forum, readily found via google and read without any need to log in.   

Seriously, where is their marriage certificate? 
It's not on Scotland's People in the Statutory Registers or the Old Parish Records. They weren't Quakers so they're not to be found in the Quaker records.

Where is your Great, Great Grandfather's name on the passenger list traveling from Scotland to Australia? It's not there, I've already checked. No Walter Wilson was listed as a passenger on the Diadem to Australia. But, it just doesn't matter because...there is no marriage certificate.

I took you at your word when you said you were related to my family. I didn't ask for proof, I just believed you.  This is your opportunity to be a person of your word and deliver real proof, like a marriage certificate of my Walter Wilson b. 1798 and Wilhemina Bell.

As stated earlier, Wilhemina  Bell is not on the hand-drawn family tree of the late 1800's. There is a big X after Walter and Jessie Grey. So, does this mean that your baptism record shows a child born out of wedlock or that you are confused with another Walter Wilson, Cabinet Maker from Hawick? So, either the child was a bastard or you are again in the wrong Wilson family mistaking one Cabinet Maker for another. Which way is it?

You spent all this time and money researching and you didn't hire a professional geneologist before you claimed to be related to James Wilson, Economist? I figured out that you weren't related relatively quickly and without spending any money. A professional geneologist would come to the same conclusion that I have come to, you are not related to Walter Wilson b. 1798 who was the son of Walter Wilson b. 1770 who was the son of Walter Wilson b. 1712 “Handless Wat” who was the son of John Wilson. Most importantly, you are not related to James Wilson, Economist and Founder of Standard Charted Bank.

Also,    I am sure you will agree that Family history is not ever an exact science, and whether the researcher is a professional genealogist or has conducted their own research using their own resources makes no difference when searching for passenger lists into any of the British Colonies, particularly in the 1800s.     

May I please suggest that you consider that in Australia most family history buffs as well as professional genealogists avoid mis-spelling the profession, as it reflects poorly on the speller rather than on the person they are attempting to dis-credit...
