It is possible that this Mary Wilson and Mary Wilson (341) are one and the same. Two generations further on, the two families again intermarried--once they had both emigrated to Bathurst Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada and lived on adjacent farms.

Marriage registrations are not available for Colvend and Southwick after 1760 until the introduction of civil registration in 1855. The neighbouring parish of Kirkbean has also been checked for this specific marriage.
