Looking for Descendants of George Williams and Hannah Bradley
« on: Sunday 21 August 11 16:29 BST (UK) »
George and Hannah were born in were both born in Ireland around 1840. They were married on 7th feb 1863 in Templemore, Londonderry. They had a child, Annie Logan Williams, on 5th Jan 1864 in Londonderry before moving to Greenock Scotland where their 4 other children where born.

James Williams - 6th Jun 1866
George Williams - 25th Jun 1868
Grace Williams - 17th Nov 1870 and
Hannah Williams - 24th Jan 1873.

I know that Annie Logan married an Edward Lyle (born 1862 in Greenock) and they had atleast 6 children:-

Abram (born in londonderry), George, Hannah, James, Edward and Lachlan.

James (my gg-gradfather) married Catherine Lamont Mitchell on 18 aug 1905 and they had atleast 4 children:-

George, Emily, Archibald and Grace

George married Ellen Binnie on 15th aept 1893 and they had atleast 3 children before his death 1899:-

Winifred, Mary and Hannah

Hannah married Robert Nicol on 25th aug 1893 and they had atleast 1 child before her death in 1895:-

Eliza W.

I have been unable at this point to find any further details about Grace Williams.

Please dont hesitate to leave a message if you think these are your relatives

Hi

I am no relation but whilst bored during the thunder and lightning today I have found a death record on Scotlands People for a Grace Wilkinson aged 72 years died 15th February 1943 in Maryhill.

Can't read everthing but from SP

Grace Wilkinson widow of Gibson Nettleship (?) Wilkinson, master mariner. Parents listed as George Williams, Stevedore (?) deceased and Hannah Williams, maiden name Bradley (deceased). Death certificate signed by a daughter but signature is so faint I can't read it.

If you wish the certificate from SP send me a pm with your email address.

Cheers
Murphyz

There is an old post on the ancestry noticeboard about a Gibson Nettleship Wilkinson and I have copied a wee bit of the text out below.


Their second son was William Gibson Wilkinson, but he called himself Gibson Nettleship Wilkinson for some reason in the 1901 Census. His son by Grace Williams was my grandfather Joseph Nettleship Wilkinson.

Hopefully I have managed to paste the link to the message but it is back in 2004.

I don't know if the Grace Williams referred to is your Grace Williams.

Cheers

I have sent the death certificate, hope you get it okay.
I had a quick look for a marriage certificate on SP but didn't see anything, but there is a death certificate for a Gibson Nettleship Wilkinson in 1928 in Springburn. He is 59 years of age.

I do not know if some one has access to the 1911 census, outwith of SP, but there is a Grace Wilkinson aged 40 in Maryhill which might be worth checking.

Regards
Murphyz
