It is the Methodist Episcopal Church. I believe it was in Rutherford. I went through all their records at the time. I was only able to get for the son and daughter but nothing on him.

Thanks. Just to clarify, I was asking for a specific church, not a denomination. A lot of details to keep track of - it's hard I know.

Ralph Wilson family in 1865 census:

Ralph is already a widower and there are 3 children still in the house. Ralph is age 53 and born in Scotland.

From searching www.familysearch.org Norway Baptisms, Norway Marriages these are the known children:

1. Georg Alexander Wilson b. 7 Jan 1833 #5:
Source information: Aust-Agder county, Vestre Moland in Vestre Moland, Parish register (official) nr. A 3 (1816-1843), Birth and baptism records 1834, page 76.

The brother Georg Alexander Wilson death, #2:

2.Clemmet Johannes Wilsonb. 2 Dec 1834, baptized 2 times 10 Dec 1834 at home and 21 June 1835 confirmed baptism in church
Clemmet Johannes son of Ralph Wilson, #30, born 2 Dec 1834, home baptism confirmed in church June 1835:
Kildeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Fjære i Øyestad, Ministerialbok nr. A 2 (1827-1839), Fødte og døpte 1835, side 71.

3. James Wilson b. 3 May 1836 Fjære, Aust Agder
James Wilson #3 confirmation son of Ralph and Ingeborg Marie:
Source information: Vest-Agder county, Kristiansand, Parish register (official) nr. A 13 (1842-1851), Confirmation records 1851, page 278.

This may be brother James in prison in 1865, birthplace given as Grimstad and age as 28:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=2&filnamn=f60301&gardpostnr=9&personpostnr=453&merk=453#ovre

James is probably still alive in April 1870 as he and R. Wilson are surety / bondsmen for sister/ daughter Margarethe's marriage.

4. Margrethe Wilson b. 11 Dec 1841 ?Oiestad or Christiansand?
Her marriage to Abraham Schlytter, #18:
Source information: Vest-Agder county, Kristiansand, Parish register (official) nr. A 15 (1867-1880), Marriage records 1870, page 383.
Permanent pagelink: www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=6178&idx_id=6178&uid=ny&idx_side=-387" target="_blank">http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=6178&idx_id=6178&uid=ny&idx_side=-387

Margarethe Schlytter in the 1900 Norwegian census, living in Kristiania:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=5&filnamn=f00301&gardpostnr=7078&personpostnr=190509&merk=190509#ovre

Margrete Schlytter 1910:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01036392056603

There are 2 Margrethe / Magda Schlytter in Oslo in 1900 & 1910 but the links are for the one b. in Christiansand.

5. John Wilson (or Karl Johan Wilson?) b. 22 Dec 1844 Christiansand.
John Wilson b. Christiansand confirmation #19:
Kildeinformasjon: Vest-Agder fylke, Kristiansand, Ministerialbok nr. A 14 (1852-1867), Konfirmerte 1859, side 272.
Permanent sidelenke: www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=900&idx_id=900&uid=ny&idx_side=-266" target="_blank">http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=900&idx_id=900&uid=ny&idx_side=-266

John married 20 Aug 1876 in Eiker, Buskerud to Ingeborg Knutsdtr. She was born in Kongsberg 29 Dec 1856. From memory, John is still alive in 1900 but died before the 1910 census.

Jon Wilson's death #7:
Kildeinformasjon: Buskerud fylke, Nedre Eiker, Klokkerbok nr. 3 (1896-1905), Døde og begravede 1904, side 565-566.

6. Ole Tolbert Wilsonb. 15 Oct 1850 Kristiansand

Ingeborg Marie Wilson's death is found in the Norway Burials database at www.familysearch.org. She d. 30 Nov 1865, was buried 7 Dec 1865 in Kristiansand, Vest Agder. Her age was given as 51 with birthyear estimated at 1814, husband in Rolf Wilson.

I haven't been able to find the fate of Clemmet Johannes Wilson. His birth year matches 1834 with official baptism in June 1835 but exact birthdate is not a match. No sign of an Olson. I haven't found his confirmation or a death record. The family does have connections to both Kristiansand & Christiania, but Clemmet was not born in either place.

My research has taken me close to this tree, and ANY input at all would be greatly appreciated (not to mentioned connecting with any distant and remote relatives.

My great grandfather is John Martin Wilson, born in September, 1956. His 1919 Maine death record lists his father’s name as John Wilson, wife’s name unknown, and occupation of farmer. That record also lists his father's borthplace as Scotland, and mother's as Norway. John Martin Wilson emigrated to the US in 1878. I’ve found a Johan Martin Wilson, since of Carl and Maren, although the age (4 in 1865) doesn’t match his own stated birthyear of 1856. Bear in mind that we are dealing with people whose own history can be hampered by either providing false information for whatever reason, or just wrong information (my grandfather, one of John Martin Wilson’s 6 kids, was very incorrect on some dates and details (bless his heart for his effort).

If any information seems related in some way, or even pointers in the right direction sine your research seems VERY detailed and thorough. I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

Hi David,

Since the Carl Wilson topic is quite lengthy you might want to start your own on John.

There is a large number of John Wilson born in Norway in America in 1880 census. This one is closest in age to yours:

A good idea.

NEW DEVELOPMENT! I'm BacK! I am convinced (almost) that this guy is mine:
Name: Carl Johan Olsen
Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 23 Sep 1834
Baptism/Christening Place: KRISTIANSUND, MORE OG ROMSDAL, NORWAY
Birth Date: 19 Jun 1834
Father's Name: Ole Hammer
Mother's Name: Karen Kirstine Abrahamsdr
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C42203-1
System Origin: Norway-ODM
Source Film Number: 124839

His birthdate is the same as mine and the location is the same. Any way to find a connection?
