Interesting Facts
It would appear that Thomas's grandmother, Jane, was married to a Mr. Armstrong, before Joseph Wilson. She had children named Armstrong and assume that her eldest daughter, Margaret, was the mother of Thomas.
A newspaper account from the Newcastle Weekly Journal 27 June 1914 stated "Mrs. Wilson of Red Row, Bedlington has received a message that her son Edward has been killed."
