Title: John Wilson of Hillman St, Dock Ward may have married Margaret Shanks
Post by: hamlets on Sunday 31 March 13 17:32 BST (UK)
One child of James Ferguson (1846-1931) and Agnes Barron (1847-1907) was Agnes Ferguson (b.Dec 1885 in Bangor) who m. James Wilson (b. 1882 Scotland) in Belfast in Oct 1907.They lived in Hillman St., Dock Ward, Belfast (am hoping it is not in Co. Antrim!). Am trying to trace a son, John Wilson, b. in Belfast in 1910. This John Wilson MAY have died in Belfast in 1984 and he MAY have married a Margaret Shanks.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I too am looking for John Wilson ....who had connections with the Morton family. I noticed you have an interest with the Morton surname as well.....not sure if we are connected in some way? Could you message me back if you are please. Thank you

Hello Morton 123!
The only tentative info I have is that James Wilson (1882-1959) m Agnes Ferguson (1884-1965) and their son John was b.1910.
In this tree of Hamiltons and Fergusons I have not a single Morton. The Mortons I have are in another tree connected to Newry and north Co. Louth.
Wish I could be more helpful.

Here's the Wilson family you are looking for but not sure why you are hoping that Hillman St. is not in Co. Antrim  :-\
