Hi Flora. Have you any approximate dates or places ? I'm searching for a James Wilson born Scotland 1910-1915 -ish. Living in Aberdeen in 1960's. He is/was my father. I am looking to contact my half brother/sister's ? Are we looking for the same person. A slim chance but after so many years anything is worth a try. Best of luck anyway. Regards James

hi James,I have a few James Wilson,s in my tree.
James Wilson c1879 married to a Jane watson in 1907.
James Wilson born circa 1907? married to an Annie Bunce?.
James Wilson born circa 1937?..
Unfortunately I dont know where they were born,what i do know.The Watson and Wilson families were horse dealers,hawkers and general dealers.
My first James born 1879 parents were Thomas Wilson and Margaret Jamieson.I have a death record for margaret ,she died 1919 in the showground Love St Paisley,So I think that they may have moved around with a fair of some sort.
My gran Mary Wilson born 1910 is the daughter of James Wilson and Jane Watson.
Other names of Wilson family that i know of.
Jane Anne born 1880 married an Abraham Wilson.
Thomas born about 1881.
Jane Ann born c. 1935
Rebecca c.1936
Robert c 1937


Hope this will help as i know how hard it is to trace a Wilson family.
Good Luck.
Flora
