Well my Wilson's of Co Durham have given me a huge headache. Co Durham has a high instance of the same surnames. I am sure on Heir Hunters they said that Scotland has a high occurrence of the same surnames which can make genealogy harder. And Co Durham is just 1 county apart from Southern Scotland.
Off the subject but my hubby has Wilson's from Durham. Where abouts were yours based?

Aah, 'mine' are a bit further South, Stockton area, so probably no link. Worth asking though :)

Yes, worth asking. It is a small world after all. I found out a lifelong friend was a distant relative as she asked me to do her family tree and I found we were related.

I always add notes underneath as to where I found the info, or where I found a possible lead. I always add witness names to marriages in my tree. I do source a lot from their census, parish records etc but also add notes.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I had to smile at this  ;D my Great Great Grandfather married his wife in Co Durham and when looking at the census her birth place was down as London Middlesex........ Oh I thought it must be an error and I continued to look as the two pre marriage census stated her parents where born in country/Co Durham her out of county/London and  they all lived in Co Durham with as far as I knew no reason or connection to London, her dad was an Agr Labourer so unlikely he was working in London, no sisters of her mother married a Londoner, so not visiting family, so I ignored it for years. 
 
Interesting one, this.  My wife's gg-grandfather was a Ralph Burn, who married Elizabeth Andrews in Newcastle in 1849, according to the marriage record.  Later censuses always showed her as born in Middlesex, but tracing this took some time because there had been a clerical error.  Their first child was Robert Anderson Burn, which proved her actual surname.  Unfortunately her marriage was at St.Andrew's, which may have triggered the clerical error.

Her family were shoemakers from Bishop Auckland, where three children were baptised together at Christmas 1827. Elizabeth was born in Aldersgate in 1825.  I still don't know what the family was doing darn sarf.
