WILSONS from HULL

[chaney999]

I feel I am becoming a pain, but my WILSON family are driving me mad.

GEORGE WILSON born abt 1830 (hull) married DELIAH WILHEMINA BOSS born 1831 in Wootten, Lincs. No trace of any marriage but have them on numerous census living in Hull as husband and wife and many children.

WILLIAM WILSON born abt 1826 or 1828 married BRITTANNIA BOSS born abt 1829. They were married in 1848 in Hull and were living in NEW GEORGE STREET, HULL on their marriage certificate. WILLIAMS father on the marriage cert was JAMES WILSON occupation Hawker.

I do know that the WILSONS were also travellers as were the BOSS/BOSWELLS. So clearly they have married into each family. I believe WILLIAM & GEORGE were brothers or some relative. I have had replies on this site regarding the WILSONS and it seems that they are possibly related to the CUNNINGHAMS from Yorkshire. HOWEVER to date I cannot confirm or make any connection. This is the only information I have of the two wilsons and would be over the moon if anyone can help me further as I have hit a massive brick wall.

Waiting in anticipation!

I have a Grace Cunningham (c1793) marrying a John Wilson (c1795). They has three children as far as I know Elizabeth (c1817), Grace (c1814) and Joseph (c1831). Their daughter Elizabeth Wilson (c1817) married Jeremiah Swales (c1815) their children were Esther (c1840), Jeremiah (c1843), Mary Ann(c1846), Hannah (c1847), John (c1850), James (c1852), Joseph (c1854), Elizabeth (c1857), Robert (c1858) and Selina (c1860). Incidentally Joseph (c1831) married Mabel Edeson.

Mary Ann (c1846) married Charles Edeson (c1835) their children were Jeremiah (c1862), Frank (c1871) and Mary Ann (c1867).
Jeremiah (c1862) married Annie Stranach and had Jeremiah, Mary, Lily, Charles, Frank, Joseph , William, Annie and Violet born 1906 died 1962.

Violet was my grandmother she married my grandfather Joseph Cunningham born 1904 died 1951.

Joseph Cunningham's parents were Joseph Cunningham born 1884 died 1916 and Nancy/Annie Maguire born 1886. Nancy's sister Janey married Joseph's brother William Cunningham.

Their father was Richard Cunningham born 1858, their mother was Elizabeth Morrison born 1861.

Richard's father was William Cunningham born 1824 their mother was Martha. Martha remarried an Anthony Garvey. Can anyone help beyond this date or provide any other links.

The Cunningham's, Edeson's, Swales' and Wilson's seem to have intermarried for decades.
