Hi Mark, I have a Wilson gtgrandfather,  John Wilson. b. @1847, parents Innes Wilson and Jane Watt.  He married Elizabeth Forbes West and they lived on High Shore, Macduff.  He was a fisherman, as were his sons and father.  Any connections?

Good morning - and welcome to Rootschat.

Can you be a little more specific?  As you haven't come across this surname by chance - what info do you have, and what are you looking for?

Do you the 'Wilson' that you're looking for on any census records.  Do you have his marriage or death entry - who was he married to - who were his parents? etc.  Lots of people here only too willing to help. 

Regards,   Steve

From the IGI - www.familysearch.org.uk

Children born to George Wilson and Henrietta Munro - all 'extracted' - therefore images of entries can be downloaded from the ppv site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

You will have to download the Andrew Wilson birth entry as it's the year of first registration and should hopefully give a lot of good info.
 
 
 1   ANDREW WILSON - Birth: 02 APR 1855 Banff, Banff, Scotland
 2.  DANIEL WILSON  Birth: 13 FEB 1857 Banff, Banff, Scotland
 3.  HENERETTA WILSON Birth: 26 APR 1858 Banff, Banff, Scotland
 4.  MARGARET ANN WILSON Birth: 30 APR 1860 Banff, Banff, Scotland
 5.  HENRIETTA WILSON Birth: 17 MAY 1863 Banff, Banff, Scotland
 6.  JANE WILSON -  Birth: 23 JAN 1866 Banff, Banff, Scotland

Hello again mark,

Marriage for George Wilson and Henrietta Munro.  From the IGI and -'extracted' - yet again,  both can be downloaded from the OPR section of Scotlands People (SP).  As you may be aware the majority of OPRs have only the names of the couple married - but sometimes gives the brides fathers name and occupation.

There are 2 entries reflecting the the recording in both the bride and grooms parishes.

24 Oct 1852, Boyndie, Banff
28 Oct 1852 Boyndie, Banff
~~~~~~~~-----------

The free search facility on SP 1855 to 2006 only brings up 1 Henrietta Wilson - other name Munro death.  She dies in 1905.  I'm out of credits for SP - have spent too much this month....  If you download the entry - shall give you both her parents names - including mothers maiden name.  Assuming the informant knew the info.

______________________________________________

I see that the IGI has a submitted record for the birth of a George Wilson in Newton, Midlothian, b.  21 May 1829, ch.  28 June 1829  father Andrew Wilson, mother Margaret Cumming.  I take it this ties in with the info on census records and Georges death entry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone else able to help with census records?  The only Henrietta Munro I can see on the 1841 census at www.freecen.org.uk is a 9 yr old servant.  If we take Henrietta snrs age as 51 on the 1881 census....

Regards,  Steve

I have a Wilson grandmother, Elsie, born in 1895 at 28 High Shore Macduff.  Her parents were Andrew Wilson and Margaret (nee Thompson) of Macduff and Andrew's parents  were Innes Wilson and Jane (nee Watt) as mentioned in Lawrenceb's post.  My Granny's sister Mary married Frank Mair and they lived at the foot of Fountain Street in Banff. All were fisherfolk.

Steve, from the info you have found, this looks like Henrietta in 1841 - just father born out of the county:

Donald Munro 40, fisherman b. Scotland
Margaret Munro 35
Jane Munro 13
Henrietta Munro 10
Margaret Munro 8
William Munro 5
Mary Munro 2

Address: Whitehills, Boyndie, Banff

In 1851, Henrietta is working in MacDuff, Gamrie, Banff as domestic servant. She looks to have been the only Henrietta Munro born in Banff for that period so not hard to find (we hope!)..
