peter & christina wilson

[margmo1]

i have been unable to find peter & christina wilson in scotland after their marriage on 7/6/1881 at calderhead, lanarkshire. peter was a widower & an ironstone miner. christina was single & a farm servant.
christina was born in 1859 and peter circa 1849.
i am now wondering if they may have emigrated to the USA as christina's sister catherine married name barr and family had previously emigrated & settled in illinoise.
i would appreciate any help in locating peter & christina.
many thanks

Did Peter have any children from his first marriage?

[margmo1]

i found some information on peter wilson , there was a short tree on rootsweb.
it gives peter's first wife as katherine brody and a child also called katherine and peters death in rapid city - pennington co - south dekota.it also has christina jackson as second wife.
on scotlandspeople i found his marriage in 1870 to catherine brodie ( spelling difference )

i am sure this is the correct peter and he definately lived his life in USA.
can you suggest where i can look to trace if he had children with christina .

many thanks
margaret

Could be Peter and Daughter in 1900 with the Hall family - Crop Mine, Pennington, South Dakota.No immigration dates. If they immigrated after the daughter was born, then this is the first census to pick them up. Unfortunately, 1890 was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
