My husband’s line is the same, still hunting for when they arrived but it was a very long way back. before 1649.I think I've found out when some of the family arrived in Ireland. They were Campbells from Scotland and that would explain some of the Scottish in my DNA.
As James Wilson appears to be part of the landed gentry, your next step would be to look through the registry of deeds on Familysearch regarding the land transactions and with luck you might find a marriage settlement which would confirm his wife’s maiden name. Also check the newspapers for marriage announcements.Yes, thank you. I'll have a look at all those tomorrow. There is a baptismal and burial record for their daughter Hannah (My third great grandmother). She was born in 1777 and died in 1833, so we're looking a something a bit earlier than that.
Hi Jillity, I wonder have I picked you up incorrectly. My information is that Hannah Knox married James Wilson. They had 7 daughters that lived into adulthood. One of those daughters was a Hannah, but she married into the Stanhope family, another prominent Anglo Irish family.
Re-reading your posts, there might be some confusion - ie that your info is that Hannah Wilson, was a daughter of James Wilson, married a Knox etc. One or both of of us might have a crossed wire along the way. I'll find you on Ancestry and you can take a look and see if there's common ground.
I think it is the daughter on the death certificate, as it says, Eileen MHis daughter was called Ethel. He didn't have a daughter called Eileen. I think it must have been Ethel who was with him and they mistakenly put her daughter's name. That's probably going to be a mystery that can't be solved. People do make mistakes.
The grand daughter, Eileen, was only a year old at this time.
This post grew some legs after I posted the image. I was led to believe by op that in no way was this his death?I didn't think it was but I did say it was the right age, right name and right occupation. The problem was his daughter was Ethel Victoria Maud and there was a completely different name on the death certificate for her. However, I think that was a mistake as it seems the person present at his death was his granddaughter and not his daughter. I believe this is the right death now. Thank you.

Hi,He was in hospital there. I think his family stayed in the lodging house.
In 1911 Anneslee Hope Road, Shanklin, Isle of Wight, was a lodging house. The head of household was a Melissa Jenetta LONG. I wonder if he was on holiday there.
It might be a coincidence but next door at St Brelades, Hope Road, Shanklin, Isle of Wight was another lodging house, head of household was a widow Elizabeth WILLIAMS b.1846, Nursling Hampshire.
Regards,
