Looking for Wilson info

[nosliwp]

I am trying to get some history on my father - Peter Bell Wilson, Born in 1906 at Uphall Station and the birth was registered at Broxburn.
Despite having the unusual middle name, Bell, I can't find any references. I know that he had a daughter, Catherine, but no info on any marriage. Just can't get past the birth even though I have an extract dated 1906 - the original.

Can anyone help?
Regards
Peter Wilson

Hi Peter,



There ia a marriage on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for Peter Bell Wilson.

If you input on the marriage search only the following information:

• Male Surname: Wilson
• Male Forename: Peter Bell

That gives only one result and it is in a year appropriate to a 1906 birth.

All the best,

AndrewP

Have you tried searching for him on the 1911 census?

Having his parents' names from his birth should help narrow the results down.

There are 19 Peter Wilsons showing aged 4-5 throughout Scotland,
inserting a 2nd person forename may get your man quickly.
And from that you could find any siblings too.

Thanks for the tips, will see what I can find.

Have had success in contacting lost rellies in Scotland. A few weeks of searching Facebook names and looking at many posted photos, saw one that I recognised. A few messages later and now finding everyone.
