Notes for James Arthur Wilson
There are scores of James Wilson deaths on FreeBMD in 1883, but none who are James Arthur W, so I can’t identify his death.
But I was saved by the information from Michael Morris that James Arthur Wilson had died on 29 Dec 1882. This led rapidly to his probate entry.
And his probate led to his death index entry:
First name(s JAMES ARTHUR
Last name WILSON
Gender Male
Birth year 1795
Age 87
Death quarter 4
Death year 1882
District Dorking

________________
Armed with this birth year, a few censuses were found:
In 1871 he was living with his sister Sophia:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Sophia M Wilson Head - Female 71 1800 - London, Middlesex
James A Wilson Brother - Male 76 1795 - London, Middlesex
Violet A Dickinson Grand Niece - Female 5 1866 - London, Middlesex
Mary Andrews Servant - Female 57 1814 - Northamptonshire
The Enumerator’s sheet added that he was a widow and was “Physician Oxon F.R.C.P.” and that he was born in “London”.
But not found in any other census.
So here is the 1951 census!

There are many, many baptisms of J A Wilson in c.1795, so his birth record cannot be identified. The main evidence about his birth is above in the 1871 census and his Oxon matric aged 17 in 1812 which gives a birth year of c.1795.
_______________
He was married twice: in the 1871 census he described himself as a widower. His first wife and any children of that marriage are currently unknown. Here goes:
Might this be a Licence for his first marriage, he would have been 29 at the time:
