  1. HI, my Grandmother was a Wilson (and hence my Mother was before her marriage). They lived in Ross Island, my Mother, long since deceased had a copy of the Ross Island school’s book. My Mother’s name was Isobel Wilson. I have little idea of who her Father was, but could probably find out.

    • I am a great grandchild of Abraham Wilson, and your mother Isobel is possibly the daughter of one of Abraham’s sons: Edward, William, Gordon. There is also a son Henry, but Isobel is definitely not a descendant of Henry (my family line). Abraham had two brothers in NQ and Brisbane – Robert and Thomas. Hope this helps.
