Hi Yukongal  ,

Sadly I don't have any information about Lt. Peter Wilson or family, however I do have the surnames CUMMING and McCONACHIE in my tree, and also from around that area of Banffshire, so there might be a connection there somewhere. Do you know the name of the Cumming that your Jean Wilson married, or the McConachie that Elizabeth Wilson married?

Thank you for the information and the web site, I have had a brief look at the site, hopefully I will find lots of relatives there.
