John Ridley Wilson

[Printer]

Hello,

I am seeking information about John Ridley Wilson (b 1888 South Shields). In 1909 he married Margaret Absalom (b 1890 Blyth) at St Cuthbert's Church. In 1912, Margaret Wilson died at Ashington.

Not known if any children from the marriage. Did John Ridley Wilson remarry? Or did he emigrate? I would be pleased to get any further details about this man. Thank you.

Hello Radcliff,

Thank you. I did mention his wife Margaret had died in 1912. Certainly a different occupation, but don't know what was shown on 1911 Census. Very interested to see the name of his son - John Robertson. That was the name of his first wife Margaret's brother, who died in infancy.
