Thank you,i clicked on to your link it was very interesting,my Thomas  Wilson was born abt.1799  united states British subject on the 1851 census. On the 1841 census it tells us he was born Foreign Parts.
his wife Anne was born Ireland .I don`t think we will ever find out about him,we will keep searching.
