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.

My third great grandparents were the Revd. Arthur Knox and Hannah Wilson. They married in Dublin in 1801. Hannah Wilson was the daughter of James Wilson and his wife Hannah and that's as far as I've got.

As James Wilson appears to be part of the landed gentry, your next step would be to look through the registry of deeds on Familysearch regarding the land transactions and with luck you might find a marriage settlement which would confirm his wife’s maiden name. Also check the newspapers for marriage announcements.

Yes, thank you. I'll have a look at all those tomorrow. There is a baptismal and burial record for their daughter Hannah (My third great grandmother). She was born in 1777 and died in 1833, so we're looking a something a bit earlier than that.
I believe they were part of the landed gentry. They were all very well connected. As far as I can tell, none of my family in Ireland actually originated in Ireland and I have no Irish in my DNA.

My husband’s line is the same, still hunting for when they arrived but it was a very long way back. before 1649.

I think I've found out when some of the family arrived in Ireland. They were Campbells from Scotland and that would explain some of the Scottish in my DNA.
