merchant; assistant/clerk to Richard Burton<br />Vice Consul of Fernand Po<br /><br />Burton’s vice-consul at Fernando Po, possibly of Scottish descent, though very little is known for sure about him. They were already friends when Burton got him the job, perhaps having met in London. Wilson was temporary Consul after Burton’s departure, before Charles Livingstone got the job in 1865, and intermittently after that till at least 1874. When the missionary Henry Roe arrived on Fernando Po in 1870, Wilson was there to greet him.[311] In 1866 Wilson’s address at the Anthropological Society was “41 Arlington Street, Glasgow and Fernando Po” and he appears to have been there till 1870. One source describes his career as “very short and inglorious”, due to his “having fallen victim to the temptations of the climate”[312] but this appears to be a mistake—extant correspondence with Burton shows that he returned to London and went to work for the Education Department in Whitehall, at the very least between 1875 and 1880, and married, living at one time in South Hackney, London. He took a leave of absence from the Education Department in 1880 to pursue a mining venture in Sierra Leone.[313] Burton and Wilson kept up a lively correspondence, which appears in Volume 1 and Volume 2.<br />
