I wouldnt normally like to ask anyone to use up their own credits however mine have apparently expired!!! I have managed to narrow down my searches by year and am looking for the following in births and baptisms pre 1855. |

I have James living in England in 1871,81,91,01 and he dies in Brighton in 1906. He married Ann Elizabeth ? in 1864. Please can anyone help me find him in 1861 and previously, im not sure whether it would have been Scotland or England. Here he is in the 1881 census. |

Hi Dea, well just been runnning through all the info and i can see we have two different fathers here, something is not quite right, not really sure what to think now! Perhaps he was Thomas john or vice versa? However i know the marriage to be correct. Perhaps there was another James Findlay Wilson born in 1827 ? I wonder if his first marriage can be found to give us some more clues, it states he was widowed when he married Ann Elizabeth Foreman. This has really thrown me! |

The James in the 1881 gives a birthplace of Lanarkshire; the baptism with the father Thomas is in Ayrshire. |

In 1891, James POB given as Glasgow, which is in Lanarkshire. |

Im afraid i dont have the marrige cert as it isnt my family, a friends. It looks like you could be right! Two diferent James' born about the same year with excatly the same name, which is quite unusual with the middle of Findlay. Thank you so much again for your help guys. So really if i can find a James with a father John we could be heading somewhere or James' first marriage! |

I am afraid there are lots of James Wilson with father's John. The nearest I can find in 1851 is this one, age is a bit out. Both are mason's (well, masons and sculptors both work with stone): |

Thank you Potty, always good to have some possibilities. Just wish he had used his middle name in all the census records, would have been easier on us then !!! xxx |
