Wilson of Larbert

[andrew shanks]

I have Ann Wilson born in 1812 in Larbert to Peter Wilson & Isabella Brown. 

I am trying to establish whether this is the Peter Wilson who was the son of Robert Wilson & Isabel Laird, who were married in Larbert in 1781.

Grateful for any assistance.

Hello,

While there is no way to be absolutely certain, I believe that you are correct.

The 1851 census of Larbert has both Peter & Isabella alive and born in Larbert;
him aged 75 her aged 75.  She died 1862 in Larbert - I have her death certificate if you would like a copy.  Peter I think died 1851- 1855 so I can find no record of his death. Ann Wilson married John Penman and he was the witness on Isabella's death.

Isabella's family were originally from Tilcourtry Clackmannanshire.  The 2nd son I have for them is Charles Brown Wilson which confused me but Isabella has a brother Charles b 1772.

Robert Wilson & Isabel Laird are my 3x g grand parents.

regards
Dano

One further piece of evidence- next on the census sheet to Peter Wilson & Isabella Brown in 1851, are Peter Wilson (his nephew) and Mary Rae. 

Peter b 1815 Larbert was the son of Peter's brother Adam Wilson & Margaret Fife.  I can confirm through his death certificate that Adam was definitely the son of Robert Wilson & Isabel Laird.

Does this help?

Hello Dano

Thank you for this information.

I do not yet have the parents of Isabella Laird, so her death cert would be useful to have.  As far as Robert Wilson is concerned I have his parents as James Wilson & Margaret Harrower who married in Tillicoultry, Clacks on 28 May 1752 - does this agree with your own records?  Nothing beyond them at this stage unfortunately.

Regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I will send you the certificate by personal e-mail.  Re the parents of Robert Wilson, I have Robert born 1756 Lasswade, Midlothian to Peter Wilson & Janet Gordon who married 1743  Lasswade, Midlothian.  The children's naming patterns seem to bear this out.

Cheers
Dano
