Margaret Blackburn Ancestry Glasgow Scotland

This evening, I am posting some information on Margaret Blackburn who features on a family tree in Greenbank House near Newton Mearns although neither this lady nor her family had any connection with the property.

Margaret Blackburn married James Wilson (1750-1830) in 1782. James Wilson was a cooper based in Pollockshaws, Glasgow. No other dates for MB are available. See yesterday's blog posting for information on James Wilson.

James Wilson Ancestry Pollockshaws Glasgow

This afternoon, I am departing from my 'normal' tombstone based records. Earlier today I visited Greenbank House, Newton Mearns, Glasgow which is a stately home and in the care of the National Trust. On the wall of the dining room is a Wilson family tree dating back to 1750. This family, being based in Lochwinnoch, has nothing to do with Greenbank House; the family tree was left to the National Trust who thought Greenbank an appropriate place to display the information.

James Wilson ( 1750-1830) was the youngest of nine children of John Wilson, a farmer of Barnaigh Farm near Lochwinnoch. James was a cooper based in Pollockshaws, Glasgow. He was married to Margaret Blackburn in 1782.
