Vic lookup please - WILSON
« on: Saturday 16 December 06 00:05 GMT (UK) »
Morning all!  :)

Looking for Oliver WILSON....

I believe he arrived in Victoria in 1865 aged 24. I am not sure whether he was married or single at the time of his arrival. If he's the Oliver I'm wanting to find then he was born in Dundee, Scotland. He could also use Angus or Forfar as birthplace I suppose. Parents would be Margaret and James.

I'm hoping there might be a marriage and/or death registration for him.

Cheers

Elsie

Hi Elsie

What information are you working back from?  There doesn't appear to be a Wilson OLVIER.

There is a William OLIVER arriving Jan 1865 aged 26 on the 'London' Ref: B 241 006 & 011.

regards

Genni

Hi Genni!

I was looking for an Oliver WILSON. His mother's maiden name was Margaret OLIVER and father's name James WILSON.

I was trying to establish whether or not he emigrated from Scotland to Australia.

Cheers

Elsie

Hi Elsie

I now understand your cryptic 2nd posting.  :)

There is a David McCrae WILSON dying in Bendigo 1893 aged 61 parents: James WILSON & Margaret OLIVER Ref: 13124

Can not find an Oliver WILSON dying in Victoria.

regards

genni
