Thread: Disapearing great grands!

Hi - the 1911 census sorted out one mystery for me, I've finally established who Mary was - another brick wall knocked down. But my great grandparents have disappeared. they were only 38 and 35 in 1901 so I expected to find them both in 1911 with maybe a son to add to their daughters!No trace so I looked for daughters, they aren't with the daughters I know married names, nor do any of the others still exist as Wilson at least. I did find a possible death for Susan born 1901 - died 1901 but no deaths for James or Mary Ann. Anyone got any ideas what next please?

Hi Chrissa



I have found 6 James and Mary Ann Wilsons in the 1901 census. Is the family you are looking for James Wilson40 Mary Ann Wilson38 Rachel Wilson12 Isabella Wilson8 Margaret Wilson5 Elizabeth Wilson3 Susan Wilson2 Mo

From the Durham area.



If not where do they reside in 1901. This needs comfirming before any attempt to find them can be made.

Hi Moggin



That is the correct family but late last night (and a few lost credits!) I found them living in South Shields. Many thanks, I do appreciate the way people in here are always willing to help.
