wilson/watson families
« on: Friday 06 March 09 23:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for the Wilson family who were tinsmiths ,hawkers and gen dealers and not to forget horse dealers

My gran Mary Wilson was born 1910 / place of birth .unknown
Parents James Wilson and Jane Watson.

Mary married James Lees in 1928 Greenock renfrewshire Scotland


I think that there might be a connection to an Osborne family as on marriage certificate, witnesses at wedding were?Osborne and Margaret Osborne they stayed at 1 Bearhope St Greenock.

Also marrige of Jane Ann Wilson who married an Abraham Wilson 1919 at 1Wallace place Greenock

Any help would be great

The line of wilson,s I am following are from Yorkshire England

From 1928 looking for Watson,Wilson families from Yorkshire and Scotland

Thankyou flora

I have a John Wilson born 1833 in Sunderland. He married Patience, maiden name unknown. He was 'head dealer in earthenware' and by 1855 was in Kent.  His eldest sons middle name was 'Farr', maybe an indication of his mums maiden name.
