Member Since: December 2010 Posts: 4 Send Message	Has anyone got any information on a Thomas Wilson, born in Scarborough, Yorkshire around 1857 - although some of the census records say he was born in York. His trade was a brass moulder. At some point he moved to Hotwells, Bristol where he married Anne Newton in 1889 (she was from Bedminster) He appears with his family still in Bristol on the 1891 and 1901 census. He then moved to Bath and in 1911 was iiving in Lower Bristol Road, Bath. He died in 1937. His children were Thomas, Beatrice, George, Louisa, Frank and William. As you can imagine a name like Wilson is so common and I didn't realise there were just so many Thomas Wilson's in Yorkshire. Any help would be appreciated.
