Informant on this, David Wilson, is maybe the son of his mother, Catherine, when she was Mrs Wilson, before she married James Colquhoun: he is in 1881C, as born Ireland 1835, a coal miner, unmarried, boarder in Old Monkland . He is in the 1871C, b. 1839, miner, living Old Monkland . Maybe in 1861C too, now born 1831, miner, in Old Monkland. Not found in 1851C

No probate, no obituary
