Hi there- I am new at this tho I have been finding my family tree members for about three years now.
Robert Wilson is a bit of a mystery - he is listed on his daughters wedding certificate (1872) as Master Mariner but does not appear to be on any census returns - we do not know anything about him really. I tried looking at the fiche Lloyds Captains register at Kew but although I could make out a number of R.Wilsons they were so difficult to read I could not get anywhere.
R Wilson's wife is called Maryann and she states on the census returns that she was born in Whittingham, Northumberland in 1827 - we found her in the baptism reg born illegitimate to Ann Wilson servant reference Lanehead Whittingham - and we can follow her through from the 1851 census to her death. She and Robert had 7 children the eldest William was killed in the Harley Pit disaster aged 12. Maryann lived in Tynemouth for most of her married life but William was born in Alnwick. This made us check the Border marriages to see if we could find Robert and Maryann - still no luck!
Any suggestions would be welcome.
