Thomas Wilson was born in Jedburgh, Scotland in 1856. He's on the censuses in Scotland in 1861, 1871, 1891 and 1901.
In 1891 he's a widower, living at his father Georges' house, with his two sons George b. 1881 and Ernest b. ca.1884 both born in America.
In 1901 George is in Benwell, Newcastle and born in New York, whereas Ernest is still with his dad in Selkirk and was born in what appears to be 'West America' (there's a pen stroke through the 'West')
I'm trying to find the mother of these children. I don't know whether she was Scottish or from the US. I've had a look at U.S.immigration for Thomas (Ellis Island site) but that doesn't seem to go as early as 1880ish.
Any suggestions?
