Wilson Family - Lanarkshire, Scotland I am looking for anyone with any links to the any of the people in my tree. My Paternal grandmother was a Wilson (maiden name) and as far as I can tell they came from the Airdrie/Monkland Aarea of Lanarkshire. My Grandmother's name was Catherine Gallacher Wilson (later Shaw) Beginning with Catherine's father In the tree I Have: James Wilson b 1893 married Mary Gallacher They had 3 children - Catherine, William & Mary (may) William Wilson b 1855? married Mary Devlin They had 5 kids that I know of - Janet b 1880 Hugh b 1882 Thomas b 1882 (twin of Hugh) William b 1887 James b 1889 (My Great Grandad) Catherine's brother William moved to Australia and sadly died about 5 years ago, Catherine died in 1952 but May is still alive and we are close to her child. All the family lived on the west coast but may have moved to other areas for work as they were mainly miners. Anyone with any links to anyone here get in touch!!
