Family Roots
A Memory of Carsphairn.
My grandfather James Wilson (1868-1950) was headmaster at Carsphairn. His wife was Jessie Allan Renfrew. My father James Callan Wilson qualified as a Chartered Accountant before spending 14 years as a missionary in Belgian Congo. He then entered the civil service and became under secretary of the Home and Health department. His brothers and sisters were George (a water colorist who pained many pictures from the area), Barbara, Jessie and Robbie. I have great memories of holidays at Carsphairn when I was a boy based in a cottage at Knowehead and walking the 3 or so miles in to Carsphairn for church on Sunday.
