Dear Tim,

The family tree that was marked with an X came from my private collection.  It was marked by Aunt Cynthia because the family line did not continue.  There were no fruits from that branch.

Sincerely,

Mike

Maybe not quite sorted yet @MAJM as we still have Quantumleap777's (Mike's) comment above. And I would think that Mike is referring to his Aunt Cynthia who I would guess would be Cynthia Wierzbicka who authored the book "The Wilson Story" published in 1973. This would make Mike a cousin of Karola (Cynthia's daughter) who sent me the book in 2015 from New Zealand.

Mike, are you able to photograph the the tree from your private collection and share it here?

Thanks

May I gently mention that the PM system at RChat does not have an option to include attachments.

All,

Thanks for the help and guidance.  Now that the family tree mystery has been (mostly) resolved, I can now further investigate our family's roots.  I've reread the entire thread and there are several aspects that are intriguing.  I'm trying to educate myself on unfamiliar terms - e.g. "Cornet" - from it's usage I'm assuming a honor that is associated with a "ride out" or "common riding."   Must be similar to a Grand Marshal in a parade here in the States. 

I love the word "Ladylaw" - romantic images of a majestic Scottish manor come to mind, but Google says it is much more pedestrian than that.

I'm also fascinated by some of the more notable members of the extended Wilson family.  Maybe there's a discount on The Economist for family members?

I'll start work in earnest on mapping our lineage.  I know that it likely exists on Ancestry.com, but it will be fun to do the digging myself.  Although, I'll note, that the Wilson Family could have made things so much easier if they had had more variety in choosing names.  Couldn't they have named one of their offspring "Oscar" instead of using "Walter" yet one more time?

And if I do find myself heading to NSW for any reason, I will absolutely let folks down there know. 

I hope you all will indulge me if I do occasionally pop up with a question or three.

Mike "Quantumleap777" claims that the family tree that was marked with an X came from his private collection.  It was marked by Aunt Cynthia...

Surely Mike is suggesting that Aunt Cynthia is Cynthia Wierzbicka (nee Wilson) who authored the book "The Wilson Story"??

Well I chatted to my relative "James Wilson" who is actually Cynthia Wierzbicka's nephew, and there are no Mike's or Michael's in the family.

What is interesting, is that the day that this thread was unlocked when TTLovesKwi (Tim) posted, Mike "Quantumleap777" joined RootsChat soon thereafter (On the same day).

It would appear that Mike "Quantumleap777" is not who he, or should I say "she", is purporting to be.

I think you'll can figure out who it is 

See my chat with James (attached)

You're making quantum leaps from Australia to Scotland out of thin air.

Hmmmm.

Nice Catch on that one @Forfarian and in that post at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=12124.msg6632119#msg6632119 it discusses my GGG Grandfather from Hawick "Walter Wilson" 1798-1862 Cabinet Maker.

Attached, and I think I have shared this before, is a photo of said Walter Wilson compared to my grandfather Cecil Walter Wilson and my Father Brydon William Wilson. Notice the similarities?
