« on: Monday 17 August 09 14:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have just found a death entry for a Augustus Wilson who died in April/May or June 1944 in Conway. I am wondering does anyone know of Augustus or anything about him.

How would i go sourching whom he married and kids if any?

Thanks

Age at registration is age 69, for Augustus M WILSON, whose death is registered in Apr./May/Jun 1944 Conway.  So born abt 1875.

Do you know anything else about him - parents, siblings, census 1881-1911, occupation ?

Cheers

Augustus was born in Ireland in 1874 to William Wilson and Malvina Mills. William was from Scotland (Kirkoswald, Ayrshire) and Malvina from Dublin.

As far as I know Augustus worked for Bank of Scotland in London as a manager.  Thats it. Looks like he died in Wales for some reason.
I couldnt find him on the 1911 Ireland Census so he must have left Ireland by that stage.

This is defintely him as he is the only Augustus M Wilson I could find in the British Isles. He had a few brothers and sisters but none lived in Wales.

Could he have been on holiday or possibly in a retirement home around Conway that area has always been strong on tourism and retirement - possibly moved from elsewhere to avoid the bombing during the War.
