Hi Lizdb,

No, there is no connection between the Wilsons and Walbottle. Billies rellies are all accounted for in Scotland/Jamaica.

Lizzie's mum died in Elgin in 1920 and she had been living with her mum, well for certain until 1091, but probably after that.

I guess it's just that I thought it was relatively rare to have rellies born in Jamaica and I thought Walbottle was tiny.

Now it seems to be the navel of the world  ;D and everyone has rellies who were born in Jamaica and lived there for a few years only.

Ah well. I guess I'll never find out what Lizzie was doing there.

Is the a place called THE FARM in Walbottle?
