Wilson Family Research, 1849 - 1930
Scope and Contents
Approximately 15 pieces of correspondence related to research done between 1927 and 1930 on the Wilson family of Gresegarth, Kendal, Westmorland, England apparently by Edward William Wilson. Accompanying notes, newspaper clippings, and legal documents document his interest in family history, genealogy, and heraldry. Wilson appears to have had a particular interest in his ancestor Rowland Wilson (1613-1950), a parliamentarian and soldier in the English Civil War.
