Cavan / Re: Wilson's in County Cavan
« on: Wednesday 29 May 24 16:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello Alfredsdad:  You were at my house in Ontario with your mum, Auntie Doreen, and your dad, Uncle Alfie, and your sister.  I think her name is Susan.  My dad was your Uncle Joe. I want to visit Ireland and would like to visit the home farm near Bailliebourgh in Cavan.  I saw the buildings from the bottom of the driveway back in 1982 but we didn't go to the door.
My dad took me to see the churchyard at Knockbridge but I couldn't find it now.

My family are Wilson and we are from Cavan
My gggrandfather moved to Cavan from Scotland around 1850 I believe and he was William Wilson
My grandfather was George Henry Wilson and died in a bicycle accident 1940 (60)
They all lived in the Cappy/Corleck area near Knockbride, Bailiebourgh
My Uncles (4) and grandmother all moved up to Belfast along with my dad in about 1948
Uncle Joe moved to Canada in around 1950 living near Toronto when we visited in 1980
My father Thomas Alfred Wilson died in 2010 and we buried him alongside his father in Cavan
We still have family in the area although I do not get there too often, cousins mainly
Rest of my (direct) family are in Belfast area mainly
My dad and my Uncle Willie Wilson were doing quite some genealogy and now my cousin has taken up the mantle, although I should not leave him doing it alone!

Not sure if that is interesting to anyone but the thread came up on a google search I fancied replying
