Hi, really quite excited to have found this thread! I am great great granddaughter of John Wilson c1846 second illagitimate son of Mary Black and a James Wilson. We can't find baptismal record for John because we reckon the minister was getting a bit hacked off by time he came along! Lol! I've been in touch with a girl from forestry commission and read quite a bit about wilsons and they seemed to like to 'sow their seeds' as they say! The funny thing is Mary was a servant at cleugh mill which eventually was my struthers family mill. We knew nothing about the illegitimacy, my dad doesn't even think my grandad (John Wilson Telfer) would have known. It's our skeleton! Ps we are still in area
