OccupationWriter and editor

John Marius Wilson (c. 1805–1885) was a British writer and an editor, most notable for his gazetteers. The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (published 1870–1872), was a substantial topographical dictionary in six volumes. It was a companion to his Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland, published 1854–1857.

He was born in Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire, in about 1805,[1][2] and was ordained as a Congregationalist minister, working for a time in County Galway, Ireland.[3] From the late 1840s onwards, he devoted himself to writing and editing, living in Edinburgh, where he died in 1885, aged 80.[1][2]
