Wilson

1871 Census

A stray Wilson appears on the Redmire 1871 census:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MOORE James	Head, Married	57	Clogger	Redmire
MOORE Maria	Wife, Married	54		Preston
MOORE James	Son, Unmarried	19	Carrier	Redmire
MOORE Octabes	Son, Unmarried	15	Labourer	Redmire
MOORE Maria	Daughter	13	Scholar	Redmire
MOORE Tunstil	Son	11	Labourer	Redmire
WILSON James	Lodger, Unmarried	44	Game keeper	Kendal

A James Wilson appears on the 1881 census at 22 Peppercorn Lane in Kirkland, Westmorland aged 54 born in Kendal. But this James is married, and has children aged 16 to 23. They could be the same James, but that implies there are two James' born in Kendal to differentiate, a task not undertaken here.

1901 Census

In 1901, Henry and Ann are living at No.1 Railway Cottage:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
WILSON Henry	Head, Married	56	Railway Porter	Leeming
WILSON Ann	Wife, Married	58		Morton-on-Swale

Henry has made quite a career as a railway porter, as he was in the same profession in 1881, living in Leeming village with his wife and young children.
