The
WILSON/WILLSON Family of C18th Brinsley & Greasley, Notts.
|

|
|
A patronym
for William's or Will's son, common in the northern English &
Scottish Lowlands.
|
Seeking ancestry and
descendants of Abiel/Abel WILSON (n. <1675-1725) who
married Ann HIDES on 29.6.1695 & then Isobel DODSON
in June 1711. My 8xGGPs. The WILSON family name may have
originated from the north of England (see map). Greasley became a
populous parish by the early C19th with the development of the
mining industry. There is also the village of Wilson in
Leicestershire, parish of Breedon on the Hill.
A daughter Hannah
WILSON was born c1700 to Abiel
& Ann WILSON. A son William
WILSON was also born around
1710/1711, possibly to Ann, and may have accounted for her death
in May 1711. The reason for the quick marriage after his first
wife's death may have been to have someone to look after his two
young children. There are no records for any children of Abel &
Isobel. William was mentioned in Abel's Will of 1725 (granted in
1729).
Abel's son (mother uncertain)
William WILSON
married Ann
(of unknown family) c1729, my 7xGGPs. The marriage may have been
the one at Sibthorpe on 5.10.1728 between William
