George Wilson (b: 1881) and Alice Lennon (b: 1883) (Ballylagan)
« on: Wednesday 17 March 21 22:29 GMT (UK) »
Alice was my relative and married George Wilson in 1912. They had four children, born between 1912-20, ie: Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Robina and Henry. Does anyone know about the lives of these people or their descendants?

Alice Wilson's MS seems to have been Lennon and she had been married before and this name was McIlroy according to the birth certificate of Robina Wilson.

See reply #1

It was the first marriage name that I was mentioning - ie McIlroy on this birth certificate. You also mentioned the MS of  Lennon even though it had been mentioned by OP so not sure why you are hastening to 'correct' me! ???

Thanks for the messages. I forgot to mention that Alice was previously married to Ezekiel McIlroy.
