I am Lorne K. Wilson, born Fredericton NB, Canada, son of Robert G. Wilson, son of Lorne A. Wilson, son of George Wilson, son of John Wilson, son of Thomas Wilson, son of Mary Wilson. Mary immigrated from Armagh area as a widow with four children in tow to St. John NB and settled in the Norton area of New Brunswick (between Moncton and St. John NB) in the year 1834. We do not know any history of Mary or my deceased grandfather Wilson from the Irish perspective.

Anne Trueman

Hi there, I too am researching Wilson's who came to Canada from Armagh in 1816. The were part of a military settlement in Bathurst Ontario-/ now Lanark. James the elder, born 1761 and his son James, born 1791, arrived on the ship Alexander with three women--- Libby? Mary and Jane. An unrelated boy also came with their group. So I am wondering if you know much about Wilson's in that area? There could be a relationship ?

Sally Tarasoff

My name is Sally and I am looking for James Wilson. Actually the first Wilson in Ireland of our family came from Scotland about 1590 or so. I have a letter from a relative who says that in 1600 the Wilson in Ireland lost all three sons to drowning in the well on the farm in County Longford – just south of County Cavan. His first name is not known but the letter said that after those deaths, he moved north to County Cavan. Clearly the family remained in County Cavan for over 200 years. The earliest documented Wilson was John Wilson who was born about 1760 in County Cavan, Ireland. He had two sons - including William Wilson who was born in County Cavan, Ireland in 1790. He married Esther Coote (also from County Cavan) and they had 7 of their children born in Ireland. The nine of them then they made their way to Canada from Ireland – quite a trip. That was about 1840. (Their last child born in Ireland was born in October of 1839 and their next child was born in Ontario in 1843.) William and Esther settled in Cobourg, Ontario and then commenced to have 5 more kids – for a total of 12

Marybeth (Grimes) Himber

My mother’s maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Wilson, from Cokeburg, Pa. She married my father, Frank Leslie Grimes Sr on October 25th 1958, in Washington County Pa. They had 5 children and resided in Pittsburgh Pa. Her father’s name was Howard Wilson and her her mother’s name was Ollie Amanda Rose. They lived in Washington Pa and had 6 children, I believe. However 3 of them passed away very young. Austin Wilson, 12 and Frances Wilson, 10. There was also an infant who passed but I’m not sure of the sex, name or age. They are all buried at Mt. Calvert cemetery in Scenery Hill Pa. Howard left my grandmother shortly after the last one passed. So I’ve been told and possibly started working on the railroads. I’m curious to see whether or not I hav

Robert Wilson

This was written by my father beginning with his Grandfather Alexander: Alexander Wilson was brought up somewhere in the parish of Redrock, Market Hill, Armagh and it would seem that he married sometime between 1840-50. He and his wife set up home in a small farm in the town land of Lisbane, Armagh (this farm is now owned by the Carmichael family). He also had a leather business and manufactured boots at the lower end of Thomas Street, Armagh. Alexander Wilson and his wife, Margaret, had six of a family, William, James, Alexander, Margaret, Eliza and Joseph. William emigrated to the Americas in his youth and was very little heard off. James carried on his fathers business and it would appear, was very successful He later owned the Mancheste

Anthony Barrett

(Part 1 of 3) The Wilson name has a long history in the British Isles and belongs to several tribal backgrouds, but now DNA and some recorded history says one origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. This Wilson story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup FA] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Wilson surname origin is possibly from the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who found the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, Wales around 300 CE.

Anthony Barrett

(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog will take part in an invasion of Brittany, France around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Wilson story begins in pre-history Ireland but this descendant will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr. A relative and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
