Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Wilton from Co Derry
« on: Thursday 29 August 24 14:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Just seen a couple of new messages posted on here.

Having checked my family tree Lilly Wilton was my 1st cousin 3 times removed I believe her father was Alexander Wilton who was the brother of my great great grandmother Catherine Young (Wilton)

The only William Wilton I can find on my family tree is William MxElmunn Wilton I have his birthplace as Londonderry/Derry but I know some of the Wilton’s were born in Coleraine I have his birth year as 1872 and he was the brother of Sir James Wilton if so he is also a 1st cousin 3 times removed according to the kinship calculator on my family tree

I hope this information is useful

Regards

Neil

Many thanks for your information
Kind Regards

That makes sense about Joe as my dad seems to remember him driving a very big car an Austin Princess he thinks so your wife is probably right. I do have a family tree online though it’s a private one I started researching over 2 years ago but have made a lot of progress on the Irish side over the last few months after hitting a brick wall
I am not from NI, I am from Liverpool but I have visited NI many times as my sister in law is from there
Kind regards
Neil

My dad has met Joe and Lily in the 60s they came up to Liverpool from Reading he was not sure if they were living there at the time or just visiting as a lot of Mary and Fred’s kids moved to England. My dad thinks Joe was a chauffeur as he drove a big car but he is not 100% sure

Hi there

This seems an old post so not sure if I will get a reply but here goes anyway!
My great great grandmother was Catherine Young (nee Wilton) tracing back my family tree I can see the Wilton family were rather well know in the Londonderry/Derry area and her nephew was Sir James Mcllmunn Wilton a footballer who was IFA president from 1915-1945 as well as Mayor for 2 spells and was also knighted
My 2nd cousin 2 times removed according to the kinship calculatoris Claude Wilton who after researching him is a rather well known solicitor and part of the civil rights movement during the troubles
Just thought I would put a post on here to see if anyone has more information or I could help with the information I have
Kind regards
Neil

Many thanks for all the information I have only recently started researching my family tree and didn’t have much info on the Irish side. In case you need the info Frederick hawkins snr is originally from aldershot in england and his dad was Alexander,from what I gather he moved to Ireland when he enrolled in the army in Dover as he was in the royal inniskilling fusiliers. His son Frederick jnr married Kathleen Hawkins in mexborough yorkshire (my grandparents) but later got divorced, he moved down south and didn’t keep in touch with my dad so didn’t know much about him. Thanks again for all the info it’s been a great help!

Do you have a date of birth for him by any chance as I will have a look around for you and see if i can find anything out. On my search I had not heard of rose until seeing the thread on here so don’t know anything about William to search on
