Glamorganshire / Re: Jimmy Wilde (the famous boxer), any info on family connection?
« on: Friday 10 July 20 18:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi there I'm another one who is supposedly related to Jimmy Wilde.
My maternal grandmother Margaret Edge ( nee Bracegirdle) 1900 - 1967 stated that she was related to Jimmy.
Margaret's parents were James Bracegirdle and Sophia Wild ( 1857 - 1926).
Sophia's parents were William Wild (c1820 - 1886 ) and Mary Sheldon.
I have not been able to pin down William's birth ( supposedly in Macclesfield Cheshire).
In 1841 census living in Macclesfield were Nancy Wilde age 70 / Sarah Wilde age 40 and William Wilde age 20. Sarah and William were Silk Weavers. In later census there seems to be a link to Salford.
I've done some research on Jimmy but can't see any obvious connections.
Does any of the above ring bells for anyone?
Regards
Nicola

Ireland / Ireland to Glasgow
« on: Sunday 13 February 11 18:18 GMT (UK)  »
I have several ancestors who emigrated from Ireland to Glasgow in about mid 1800s

Terance Wilson born c1831 Glass bottle labourer religion Catholic
Ann Wilson nee O'Hara born c1831 wife of Terance

Jane McGuire who married Peter Clark

In all the censuses so far they just note birthplace as "Ireland" ( 1911 Scotland census not published til April 2011).

I am stuck as to how to find out where in Ireland they came from - any ideas appreciated

Scotland / Wilson - Glasgow
« on: Sunday 13 February 11 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
My 3xgt grandfather Terance (sic) Wilson and family appear to have emigrated from Ireland to Glasgow between 1855 and 1861. In 1871 they were living at no. 10 Swan Street Glasgow and in 1881 at no. 40 Oak Street Glasgow. Terance's occupation was glass bottle labourer. Terance died in 1886 and his sons John Longworth Wilson and Peter Wilson ( both glass bottle workers )  and families moved to Newton-le-Willows.

I would love to hear from anyone with Wilson ancestors in Glasgow.

Can anyone recommend informative book/s on the Glasgow glass industry in the 19th century?

Nicola
