I am getting very curious about the next page!

this is definitely the same Wilson of Alford, Aberdeenshire:
 * here
 * and here in Science Gossip 1896

Death notice: Science Gossip 1896:

William Wilson, died 18 October 1896, aged 91 yrs. so born 1805

It is very strange that he is still publishing in 1898!

see e.g. this page

(Hooker 1842) and 1886-9:	this

Try via: wikitree:

William Charles Stewart Wilson (Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1882-11-30 - Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1885) and: wikitree:

William Wilson (Woodhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1854-05-03 - Whitchurch, Shropshire, England, 1930-11-27)
