The Selkirk Master Baker by the common name of Walter Wilson ended up in Australia making more babies. But the problem is how do you connect W.B.W., a.k.a. Walter Bell, a.k.a. Walter Wilson Elliot, a.k.a, Walter Wilson born in 1823, Canonbie Scotland to Walter Wilson Master Baker, 1851 in Selkirk. 28 years have passed. Where did he pass them?
What was his name in Scotland BEFORE he was 28 years old?
Where did he live in Scotland, England BEFORE he was 28 years old
These are basic questions that need to be answered.
I suspect that this illegitimate child grew up in the Guide Port Inn and the Crosskeys Inn and was tossed around like a hot potato.
So many discrepancies, now, the headstone has been changed. This is starting to look like a pantomime.
There is no traceability. All of this information is being manipulated to fit a big guess that is a DEAD END. Waste of time. What is eerie to me is the desperation the “he” has to be a real Wilson.
