Hi am looking for any information Relating to Eliza Jane Wilson born on 27 may 1867 . Parents being William Lamont and a Marty Ann Luke ( known as Martha Ann sometimes)
She married a William Wilson and they moved to Bothwell Lanarkshire . I have them there on the 1899 and 1910 Scottish census .her mother is there with them in 1899.
They had 8 children I only have 7 recorded
William 189martha 1895
Samuel 1893
Eliza 1897
Robert 1899
Maggie 1900
And Thomas 1904
Her husband William John Wilson norm 1869 died in a railway accident and she has returned home . On the 1911 census she is living at home with just 2 of her children Robert and Thomas . At number 6 drumcon . Her children al appear to have been born away when she lived in Scotland .
I have found a William Wilson age and place of birth matching living in no 3 st George’s street Belfast . Possibly a work house in 1911
I haven’t been able to track any other children down and my older relatives still alive don’t remember anyone from that family. Any help appreciated

Gave up waiting for you to post links so had to search and found an Eliza Ann Wilson with sons Robert and Thomas Alexander (sons born Scotland but Eliza Ann born Mayboy, Co. Antrim-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Killoquin__Upper/Drumcon/130277
They are living in the townland of Drumcon (6 is the enumerator's number for the household in that census but not their address).
I have found a William Wilson age and place of birth matching living in no 3 st George’s street Belfast . Possibly a work house in 1911
According to your post William was born 1895 which means in 1911 he should have been around 16 or 17 in that census. The William Wilson you found is age 19-

This form shows the address was a lodgng house (the Workhouse is number 6 and people in institutions should be shown with initial rather than complete names)- http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001399666/

William was born in 1892 . Might have been a typo . So that makes him 19 in 1911 so possibly could be him . Apologies for not getting links up but was in work . Thanks for putting them up .
