Wilson Family Mystery

[RedZeppelin]

Hi I need help on where to look next Ive been trying to look into the wilsons that are in my family and Ive hit a brick wall the only thing I have is a marriage cert http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/3f459d0583925

William Wilson married Anne Flood the only thing I know is he was protestant and married Anne Flood who was catholic and his family disowned him He had 3 children with Anne, William (1890) Patrick (1891) and Mary (1894)  He died soon after his daughter Mary Christina (my great grandmother) was born http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/f1fe0c0127685 and his family had said they would take the 2 boys not the girl and rear them but Anne flood refused and brought them up herself.

This is all I have only that William's father was called Alexander and was a Law Clerk and Im lost as to where to look next can anyone advise

Presumably Anne and daughter in 1901?

Yes I believe that is her but cant find the two eldest sons in 1901 and I found them in 1911

I think William wrote that census out because he spoke Irish and Anne could not write

Patrick died in the war in 1918

Their father William has quite a popular name and Im not 100% sure but I remember hearing that he might of gone to Trinity does Trinity student records show mother's names

Yes, looks like the Workhouse. Remember that the census only shows where people stayed 1 night in the year so the boys may not have been there for long.

Yes but it could be them I will look into it its something i never thought of before Im quite the novice when it comes to researching family history only been doing it a couple of months and these Wilson's are very hard to track down.
