WILSON, JOSEPH - Cavandorragh Townland descendants

TyroneArdstraw (Tyrone)

Hello,

I am researching my G.G.Grandfather Joseph Wilson born before 1800, died circa 1860's.

Joseph Wilson was husband to Eliza Ross - their *children were

*Mary Wilson - b.about 1814 Co. Tyrone - died: 05Mar1895 Woolongong, NSW, Australia

*Robert Wilson - b.1822 Cavandoraugh,Co. Tyrone - died: 06Jul1888 Co. Tyrone m. Mary Brooks

*Matthew Wilson - b. May1830 Co. Tyrone - died: 11Mar1915 Indiana, USA. m.Anne Jane Knox

*Andrew Wilson - b.1831 Co.Tyrone - died: 07May1904 Berry, NSW, Australia m.Maxwell m.Muldoon

*Joseph Wilson - b.Jun1834 Co. Tyrone - died: 06Dec1926 Indiana, USA. m. Jane McCay

*John Wilson - b.Jun1837 Co. Tyrone - died: 08Mar1922 Indiana, USA m.Caroline Greg

*David Wilson - b. Unknown - died: Unknown - may have emigrated to Canada

*Ann Wilson - b.Unknown - died: Unknown - m.Samual Ross in 1851

We believe that Joseph Wilson had at least one brother, (Andrew Wilson). The Wilson were tenants of the Abercorn Estate.

We have conducted some Y37 DNA testing to confirm Australian, UK, & USA descendant connections from Joseph Wilson senior and his brother Andrew Wilson senior.

Hi Janet

I couldn't find a marriage record for Joseph & Eliza

I did find 4 birth/baptism records for Joseph Wilson 1790 + - 10 years on www.rootsireland.ie/

1788 Dublin 1785 Offaly 1796 Derry & 1800 Antrim

Given that the children were born in 1814 perhaps 1780's might be more realistic

There are some others 1776 Donegal 1775 Mayo 1785 Offaly 1774 Sligo 1788 Dublin 1771 Dublin

There were none in Tyrone

There are similar records for Eliza Ross but none in Tyrone either

I couldn't find a record of Mary's birth either
