On the 1911 census it says John and ada married 12 years,there was another John Robert Wilson married in Sculcoates to maybe Ada Harrison.J/A/S 1898 9d 349 this would match 1911 census.

There is also a tree on Ancestry.co.uk with Ada Campbell and John Robert Wilson and they had the following Ada 1898
Sarah 1899
John 1901
Emily 1903
Mark Sutton Wilson 1907
None of which are on the 1911 census which was posted.

Do you know for deffinate that John Robert Wilson and Ada Campbell are yours??

Maryb

EDIT Yes i see that Campbell was the mums maiden name on Arthur Stanley Wilson 's birth,so the 1911 census posted could be the wrong one.

I think John Robert Wilson married again 1925 and had a daughter.

There was death for John R Wilson Sculcoates 1928 age 53 = 1875
So thet would fit .

I haven't posted details of second wife as her daughter may still be alive.

Hi there, Sorry i haven't replied, A little new to this! Yes this is the family I am looking for! I have edited some of the birth dates for John Robert Wilson (born 1875) and Ada Campbell (born 1878) These are correct. Are also the children, my grandfathers siblings. I Have had a look at the 1911 census and I do think that John and Ada married in 1896, as you suggested, my circa ages where incorrect. Where do i go from here, in finding their parents details?

Many Thanks

Hi Karen,I took the info off a tree on Ancestry.co.uk.
They also have him married to Ada Campbell like you do,but they also have him marrying again to Margaret Holmes.

I can't say that it is for deffinate as I don't know if they have researched it correctly.

Maryb.
You could check on here for the names I gave you and possibly get intouch and compare info.

Mary Report 19 Jun 2010 18:24

Karen regarding the info I sent you privately about a second marriage and daughter being born 1927/8.

Someone on here has that name and Ada Campbell 1877 Hull,maybe you should try and make contact with him.

Hi There Maryb, I have made contact with a couple of people in regards to Ada Campbell 1977 but i am sure that the Ada Campbell i am looking for was born 1978 from the 1901 census. I know you sent details of John Robert Wilson's parents and grandparents but please can you confirm these are correct because the dates of birth are different. The John Robert Wilson i think i am looking for was born 1975. I have searched some of the census's, marriage's, birth's and added these to my tree but they are not showing up, please can you help.

Many Thanks
Karen

Actuall dates on census records vary a lot of times,I tend to go on the 1911 one as they have been filled in by the occupiers themselves.

As for the info I gave you about John Roberts parents I can't say for sure that it is correct as i copied from some ones tree on Ancestry.co.uk.

Hi Maryb, I think i have found the person you was referring too in regards to who i should make contact with, i have made contact and he has replied, there is alot of info that fits in well! When you said you saw John Robert Wilson remarrying to a Margaret Holmes, there is one but not the one born 1875 but his son born 1901, which means that is was my grandad's brother who married her not his dad! I have alot of details which im going to look into tomorrow,
Many thanks for all your help, this is promising!
