John Wilson lace manufacturer

[Jayson]

Hi

Are there any other researchers out there researching the Wilson family of Arnot Hill.  John Wilson, a lace manufacturer, was married to a lady by the name of Ann (surname name not known).

This couple had a son (John Mowbray Wilson) who was baptised at Arnold 2 July 1826.  He was a professor of music.

Hi Jayson

Have you got a connection to William Wilson of Radford born 1800. His father was also William. He had Henry, J.Wycliffe and others. If so I have information for you.

Hello again, Jane

I haven't come across the names mentioned but that doesn't mean they aren't connected so, yes, I'd be really interested in the info you have.  Are there any occupations mentioned?

Hi Jayson

They were owners of Old Radford Mill. They were spinners of cotton and angola yarn. There were 3 generations mentioned. William (1) was Mayor of Nottm 3 times. William (2) the owner of the mill and religious temperance man. The children became very successful, forest owning, clean living, non smokers, non drinking, MPs, YMCA connected, anti-opium etc.

Please see persnal message I have sent you.

Hi Jane

I wonder if the John Wilson I'm researching was the same as the one who had owned Old Radford Mill.  It seems very likely.  Hope I can tie all these people up together eventually.

Thanks for all this Jane.  I owe you so much for the time you have spent.

Best - Jayson

Hello Karen

Well, first of all, Karen, welcome to rootschat.    I've been a member now for roughly two years and have benefited more than I can ever begin to express in words from the generosity of other members of this useful site.

It's amazing how old posts are brought back to life again, and as it happens I was only thinking about this side of the family a few days ago. 

I've been researching this family for my cousin - her father's family.  I am related to her via her mother.  So I not related to the Mathers or Wilsons.  My cousin is the granddaughter of Kate Adeline Wilson.  Kate married John Mather, and at some point they moved to Nantwich in Cheshire.  John Mather established himself in the town as a successful cabinet maker.

My cousin has in her possession an old picture of Arnot Hill House where the Wilson family lived.  I think John had something to do with silk manufacturing. But I haven't got any further back, however I would like to.

I must look at my notes again.  Will send you a personal message if you wish to contact me again.
