William Wilson (1835 - ??)

This is PROBABLY the right William - no proof yet.

1871 Census

William Wilson 36 Piercebridge, Durham, England Head Ingleton Durham
Margaret Wilson 36 Marwood, Durham, England Wife Ingleton Durham (must have died between 1871 and 1881)
Mary Wilson 7 New Shildon, Durham, England Daughter Ingleton Durham
Elisabeth Wilson 4 New Shildon, Durham, England Daughter Ingleton Durham (What happened to her in the 1881 census?)
Robert Wilson 2 Darlington, Durham, England Son Ingleton Durham
Eliza Wilson 1 day Ingleton, Durham, England Daughter Ingleton Durham
Frances Wegel 46 Barnard Castle, Durham, England Widow, Apprentice Ingleton Durham
(original census seems to say 'Laundress' not apprentice, AND it say's "Wife's sister" - looks more like 36 than 46 and Wegel looks more like MeGee but apart from that....)

Same family 1881 Census

William Wilson 46 Piercebridge, Durham, England Head Blacksmith, widower.
Mary Wilson 17 Shildon, Durham, England Daughter Barnard Castle
Robert W. Wilson 12 Darlington, Durham, England Son Barnard Castle
Eliza Wilson 10 Ingleton, Durham, England Daughter Barnard Castle
Fanny Wilson 6 Langleydale, Durham, England Daughter Barnard Castle


Have searched all of the above in the 1891 census - not a trace.

1901

William Wilson abt 1835 Piercebridge, Durham, England Head West Bradford Yorkshire
Eliza Wilson abt 1837 Barnard Castle, Durham, England Wife West Bradford Yorkshire (is this Wm's 2nd wife and, if so, is it Margaret's sister, Eliza born 1837?)

 

I think this is Margaret's family in 1861 census - note the MeGee grandson
