May I remind you that there were two Aunts named Cynthia. 

Genealogy without documentation is mythology.

Do your research Gentlemen. :)

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

Mike,

 re your Aunt Cynthia, 

Do you know why she did not mark any other apparently non fruiting branches on that tree?   

JM

This question.....

I am confused.

Two aunts called Cynthia?

One presumably Cynthia Wilson or Wierbicka, author of the book, 'The Wilson Story', which contains the copy of the chart prepared for Lucy Ann Wilson in 1890. The version without the 'x' added in pencil by Brett.

Who was the other Aunt Cynthia please?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Yes, well in NZ, there was a lass born in 1920.  Her grand-dad was John, he was born in Portpatrick in 1858.  His Dad was Alexander. 
The family name was WILSON..  The lass born in 1920 in NZ was aged 82 when she died in NZ.  Her second middle name was Cynthia.

Perhaps she was the other Aunt Cynthia?  8)

No mention of Hawick  on any of the family trees I have sighted online for that Alexander Wilson

I've been following this thread because I, too, am a Wilson descendant, albeit one without access to that amazing family tree, the 1970s book, family Bibles, original letters, etc.

Brett, would you please post the portion of your ancestor's baptismal record that shows his father's occupation as cabinetmaker? His occupation isn't listed in the FamilySearch.org index and I don't have access to an LDS family history centre, so I can't view the image anywhere. (I'm not asking because I doubt your lineage; I'm a stickler for detail and would like to see it for myself.)

Thank you,
Josephine

Hi @Josephine

Certainly, though he is recorded as a carpenter. Over the years, he was recorded as a Carpenter, Cabinet Maker and another associated profession to do with woodworking etc.

And Hawick is mentioned in the Baptism record also.

Might I ask where you Wilson connections are from and if they tie in with this Wilson lot Josephine?

Thanks

Thanks so much, Brett; that's really awesome.

I find the Wilsons to be confusing and so am hesitant to say where I think I fit into it at this stage. I'm still trying to work it all out.
