To elaborate on my post.
I and another cousin are getting familyfinder dna links to families with this Sarah Wilson -Thomas Cather marriage.
Our Gt Grandmother was Mary/ann Wilson she married Samuel Taylor in Aird Billy Parish Antrim in about 1829.
She died in Glasgow aged about 80 in 1887. In one of the Scottish census she has given born Antrim and on her death certificate her parents are given as James Wilson, farmer and Mary Stewart .
What I am trying to establish is whether the James Wilson father of Sarah Wilson in 1838 is the same person as the James Wilson married to Mary Stewart , that is, that Sarah Wilson and my Mary/ann Wilson b abt 1807 would be sisters.
The only information that I can think of that might prove this is that 1. there are baptisms for both Sarah and Mary/Ann in Raphoe The indication was that Sarah was Presbyterian.
2. any other references to this James Wilson in Raphoe , did he marry Mary Stewart there?
Or was he an itinerent who had come to Raphoe from elsewhere Mary/Ann has indicated that she was born in Antrim. Perhaps Sarah might also have been an itinerant coming to Raphoe for work.
Sorry that I have made this so complicated
