Antony,
Thanks very much or looking. I should have told the List that Walter had
two older siblings, James B, b. Sept., 1864 (source, US census 1900), and Ada
Louise, b. 1861 (source, obit, 20 March, 1881. Age 20 yrs). Perhaps one or both
were also born in Wales.
Their father was J.R.C (believe it stands for James Robert Chapel) WILSON, b.
1826 (source Obit, d. 13 Feb, 1879. age 53). His obit says he was from
Bristol, England. Their Mother`s name was was Carrie (Catherine). b, d dates and
maiden name unknown.
All five emigrated in April, 1873. We`ve already searched the Gloucester
mail list, the port of NY ship list records and other US sources, without finding
anything about this family before they arrived here.
Hopefully there will be other sources in Wales or other WILSON searchers that
can help.
Thanks,
Chuck Scarborough

The only Welsh connection would appear to be a Walter Lloyd Wilson in
Salford.
