Title: WILSON. Glasgow, Lancashire, London
Post by: DotBrennan on Tuesday 30 January 07 03:01 GMT (UK)

Looking for descendants of John Wilson & Annabella Graham.

He was a brewer and spirit merchant and died at Laurieston, Glasgow on 30 April 1840.
The 1841 census for Portland St, Gorbals shows:
Name      Age   Occupation      Where born
Annabella   35   Brewer      Outside county
Jean      15            Lanarkshire
Margaret   14            
Thomas   9
Alexander   5
John      4
George   2
Annabella   1
Thomas   45   Clerk         Outside county
(Thomas could be John's brother)
The household also shows:
Byrce Louden 25   Shopman
John Ritchie   15   Shopman

I think Jean may have married John Ritchie.

I believe Margaret & Annabella didn't marry.

Thomas & Alexander – whereabouts unknown, but could have been involved with the East India Company as were John & George.

John married Margaret Moncrieff Jameson and were living in Manchester c. 1900.
They had the following children – (ages @ 1891 census):
John 15
Alexander Jameson 14
Agnes Borlas 12
Annabella G. 9
After many hours of searching the 1901 census I found John (64), Margaret (57) & Annabella (19) staying with their son Alex (24) in London!!

George is my Gt-grandfather and arrived in NZ in 1874 – we don't know why he came.  He had a ship-board romance & married 3 days after arrival.

Would love to hear from anyone who has any of these people in their "tree".

Bren.

I realise this thread is a tad old but ...

The grandfather of Margaret Moncrieff Jameson was Rev. John Jameson of Methven.  This John Jameson was my third great grandfather - not sure what that makes our relationship :-)

The reason for this post is that I have recently found a wealth of information (even a family photo from circa 1890) on John Wilson and Margaret Moncrieff Jameson and their children, if you're still chasing these folks.

Regards John Jameson

Hi John

Welcome to RootsChat.

I have managed to fill in a lot of gaps over the 10 years since I posted this message, but there is still a lot I would like to find out.

I'll send you a PM with my email address.
