Hi, just having another browse and came across your info. My grandmother was Daisy Emily Williamson born in Kneesal, Notts. to Mary Williamson of Norwell, Mary married widower Tom Otter they (Mary, Daisy and Tom) were then living in Chesterfield.
My grandfather was Harry Wilson born 1870/73 - whereabouts/parents unknown. Married to Daisy Emily in Glandford Brigg 1903 at Weslyan Chapel. One daughter Mary Emily Wilson(my mother) born 1906 Darlington. Harry Wilson died 1918 in Gateshead - leaving widow Daisy Emily and my mother. Great Gran Mary Williamson herself was born at S/Collingham where her father was farm bailiff. All just coincidence or connections somewhere as it all seems to be in the same area with a Wilson name thrown in for good measure !! Tom Otters first wife by the way was Emma (nee Wilson).
Please get in touch if any of this ties in anywhere at your end.
Cheers
Jean K

I have been doing a lot of research into the Wilsons of the Southwell area of NOTTINGHAMSHIRE This may also include Upton,Bleasby,Farnsfield etc. My earliest traceable ancestor seems to be John Wilson born in 1809 who married Mary Moal . Johns father was also a John Wilson and married to a Mary Downing.I cannot find much about him except that he may have had a second marriage to an Ann Cook. John (born 1809) had at least 2 children one was my great grandad Joseph Wilson born 1835 who married Elizabeth Ricketts of Kirklington. This John was probably the same John Wilson that later married Mary Ann Whitton in 1860 at Southwell and moved to Brimington Chesterfield where they had a large number of children. Joseph and Elizabeth had a number of children at Southwell including my grandfather William Wilson born 1868 who married Clementina Denby from North Wheatley and settled in Nottingham.
