The late Mr Wilson was of that family, of Waldershaigh, Bolsterstone, Sheffield, which, per Burke's Family Index, last appeared in Burke's Landed Gentry in the 1952 edition. His mother was of the Cobbe family, of Newbridge House, Donabate, County Dublin, for which see Burke's Irish Family Records (1976). Per Free BMD, there would appear to have been at least four daughters of his marriage.
