Hi patrejax,

Many thanks for your suggestions. I hope that the Wilson descendent who made the posting in 2000 will see my latest request for help because his email is no longer current,

Pilgrim,

Was scrolling through the records on https://www.familysearch.org
with the Texas marriages and came across this:

Could this be the first wife?

Hi Genealiza,

What a great help you have been.

This is definitely worth remembering. The name of the first wife was not included on the death certificate of Walter Wilson - just the fact that he had been married before in America. Obviously this first wife died for him to remarry - the question is either in America or back in Ireland. The 2nd or possibly 3rd marriage was in Belfast Ireland in 1869. The details other than this on the death certificate are hard to decipher.

To further complicate matters there is an unsourced record on the LDS IGI Index 1858 for Walter Scott Wilson m Emma Hardy of Indiana or in Indiana?

Help - does any kind person know how I proceed next??

Thank you Genealiza - you've been a great help through all of this!

I am researching all NZ war veterans and would appreciate any information available on Walter Scott Wilson. Also, I am looking for ANY information relating to Mr. A. Wilson who lived in Dunedin in 1910. Information on him, life, family, death or burial. It is needed for a memorial to him on the Australasian Veterans Memorial website (www.acwv.info). Any help will be appreciated. ^(*)

I would be happy to provide you with what ever I have, but you will need to contact me by email at ^(*) so I can email it to you. My only relationship is that he was a Confederate veteran, as were my ancestors. I research to preserve their memories for future generations. Where are you located? As a descendant, you can request a proper marker for his unmarked gravesite. I would be happy to do the paper work for you, as I have some 35 others. Email me.

James Gray
