Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 38 Send Message	John Guy Wilson married Louisa Elizabeth Jones in 1863. Louisa died in 1866 after giving birth to Edith in 1864, Henry in 1865/6 and possibly Louisa I. M. in 1866. John was remarried in 1867 to Frances Geraldine Richmond and there appear to be four children from that marriage - Edmund, Florence, Sidney and Gerald. I am especially interested in tracing descendants of John Guy Wilson with a view to obtaining copies of any photographs of John that might exist.
