Looking for any information regarding a Thomas Wilson who married an Elen Prest in Newton Upon Ouse, Yorkshire, England in 1827.

They may have connections with Wilson & Son's, book wholesaler & Henry Prest who was in the glass manufactuering buisness.

Thought the Prest connection maybe of the Prest chemist and druggist buisness in Sheffield.

Any of this ring any bells?

As the Wilson line has become a dead end.

Thanks in advance.
Paul

Hi Mel :) x

Many thanks for ther reply.

Was looking at IGI.

Right...focus...lol.

Ok..again..no wonder not getting anywhere..

GGRR!..changing spelling of name.

I had the marriage date..

Thier son John became a chemist & druggist.

I was thinking Ellen may have been the daughter of Henry Prest who ran a glass company.
And Thomas was one of the sons of Wilson & Son's book wholesalers.

At least that was what I was thinking...lol..

That Thomas that I posted was an Ag Lab.

Thier son John Shepherd Wilson was born in 1828.

Was wondering where the Shepherd name came in.
I believe he was an only child..as I have not been able to find any siblings.

I was thinking his mothers name migth have been Shepherd..
eg Ellen Shepherd...but it is Prest.

So?.......
I know John's father name was Thomas as I have one of Johns marriage certs. But It doesnt say who his mother was.

Well if he was called John maybe that was after Ellen's dad!

What year of birth have you for John Wilson? and when did he marry?

I cant find any reference to the family anywhere.

At least I can't find anyone related..very frustrating as this is my family line and I know so little.

Have had great success with my mothers side...all the way back to 1035 and beyond..lol.

John's christening was 13.02.1828

St Peter Cathedral, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England

John married twice.

But its going back which is holding me up.

Cant get passed Thomas & Ellen.

Shepherd could have been one of his parents mothers maiden name.

Thats what I was thinking..

I was thinking it was going to be Ellen Shepherd...but it's not....its Prest.

So still none the wiser....lol..

Maybe its John grandmothers maiden name?.

John became fairly wealthy.
The area where he lived in Chichester..the houses now sell from 500,000 to 1.5 million!.

What happend to all that money?..lol

John 1st married the daughter of a well to do Surgeon.
Then i have a feeling he had an affair..and then married the lady in question.

But Im not 100% sure...but something happened between 1858 and 1863.
By 1864 he had a new wife...
Not sure if the 1st wife died ...or he got divorced and married the other women. She was a good 15 years younger than he was.

Ok Mel..will look through what you have found me and see it it all adds up..

Many thanks for your time and efforts..much appreciated.

I had to go and see to the chickens as it's windy here today and the door kept blowing closed. Don't think I have left you as I now have to get lunch in a min.

LOL..Chickens....talk about fresh!....lol. :)

On that Christening for Thomas Wilson with the father George Wilson, it was extracted and I did a search for siblings and got a list of some with just George and some with George and Mary. So I lookd up a marriage between a George and Mary Shepherd and I found one., but I am not certain..........................
