	He is in at least one tree on GR...........try contacting the 'owner' by clicking on 'find out more' against her name on the search all member trees page. He isn't in your tree.................one of the best ways to find connections on this site is to put your tree on.

	Message received from Maurice. He is looking for further information regarding Maurice Victor Donald Wilson's father......James Wilson. I am a bit busy right now so can't help. Going by the 1861 census, it seems his wife is Elizabeth (aka Betsy) Sparks. I have advised Maurice on how to return to this thread and how to reply. Prickles.

	Parent's marriage? Marriages Sep 1877 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRANSON Martha Amelia E Yarmouth 4b 17 Wilson George Martin Yarmouth 4b 17 Edit: I think you should buy the marriage certificate to get fathers' names. George Wilson being a quite common name.
