James Wilson and George Wilson

Desertcreat (Tyrone)

Looking for information on two of my ancestors:

James Wilson Born Jan. 8, 1824 Died July 20, 1862 in Canada..He was said to have come from Sandhole, Ireland (located between Cookstown and Dungannon, Ireland). It was believed he was a teacher there before he came to Canada. It is believed that James sent for his parents  James Wilson 1790-1872 and Elizabeth McDermott 1790-1879. He married Mary Jane Howell on Jan 24, 1852 in Canada..

When James died Mary Jane married George Wilson Born: 1837 died Jan 12, 1917. The Ontario County Records show George Wilson of King's County, Ireland & Mary Jane married on Aug 8, 1863. No indication if James and George where brothers. All are buried in Zion Hill Cemetery, Ancaster, Hamilton Municipality, Ontario Canada. 

Can anyone help us with information on these Wilson's.

Hi Edna

For local volunteer assistance on your query regarding James Wilson of Sandoles, Co. Tyrone please join the civil parish of Desertcrete community. There you can post a memorial to James Wilson 1790-1872 and Elizabeth McDermott 1790-1879 (to facilitate discovery by other community members and hopefully relatives) by clicking on "Add Ancestor". 

For George Wilson of King's County (aka Co. Offaly) you may wish to do the same on the IrelandXO Co. Offaly community.

Hope this helps!
