Thank you. That's really useful. We think James Wilson was her father. My niece is collecting little bits of evidence.

Thank you. That's brilliant.

I have just found the Revd Arthur Knox's father in a short biography on the Ulster Historical Foundation website. That is a really useful resource.

Hi Jillity, I'm a decendent of Hannah and James. Hannah died quite young, in her 30s. She had 7 daughters with James Wilson. She died on 22 Apr 1784. I've been to her grave in County Meath. She is buried with her father in law, also James, a daughter who died as an infant and her sister in law (also died as a young woman). On this forum you'll see I queried a Hannah Jane Masterson - that would have been her granddaughter. I think my ancestry family tree is probably the most up to date for Hannah and James - I can provide you with a link and other useful info. Information about James is very, very scarce - he's my area of focus at the moment. It's just strange that I can't find out where he is buried given he was a prominent, wealthy, Anglo Irish landowner who married daughters of two other such prominent families.

I can post more again on this, just happened to find your post late at night when I was Googling for any leads on James Wilson!

Wow, thank you. A link to your tree would  be great. Hannah Wilson was my third great grandmother. She married the Revd. Arthur Knox. They were very notable families indeed and I think they liked to keep the wealth within the families. They seemed to marry each other without any regard for genetics. My name on Ancestry is Pat May and my family tree is the Welsh/Williams family tree.

Hi Jillity, I wonder have I picked you up incorrectly. My information is that Hannah Knox married James Wilson. They had 7 daughters that lived into adulthood. One of those daughters was a Hannah, but she married into the Stanhope family, another prominent Anglo Irish family.

Re-reading your posts, there might be some confusion - ie that your info is that Hannah Wilson, was a daughter of James Wilson, married a Knox etc. One or both of of us might have a crossed wire along the way. I'll find you on Ancestry and you can take a look and see if there's common ground.

I'll have another look at my family tree and get back to you.
