WILKINSONS of Heighington
« on: Thursday 18 January 07 11:46 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
Iam wondering if anyone has any information regarding John WILKINSON (born about 1801) and his wife, Mary, also born about 1801..  Their children included:
Frances (born) 1826
George (born) 1828 - my ggg grandfather.
Thomas (born) 1831
Mary (born 1836)
John Wilkinson was a shoemaker and although I don't know whether he was born in Heighington he lived there most of his life.  I last have knowledge of him via the 1861 census, I suspect he dies between then and 1871.
I know alot about George and Thomas but can't find any information on Frances or Mary.
Does anybody recognise the family?
Thanks

Hello aidansrest

Regarding Mary

In 1851 she is at home with her parents in Heighington

Darlington HO107/2382 Folio 610 Page 22

John Wilkinson Head M 50 Journeyman Shoemaker Durham Heighington
Mary do Wife M 58 Durham Denton
Mary do Daur 15 Durham Heighington

In 1861 I believe that she is unmarried and working as a cook at Hermitage Hall, Chester le Street. RG9/3759 Folio 65 Page 2

I think she probably married Robert William Halliday in 1864 Chester le Street AMJ quarter 10a 550

In 1871 I think that she is with her husband and three children

Chester le Street RG10/4948 Folio 16 Page 25

Robert W Halliday Head M 30 Engine Fitter Durham Chester le Street
Mary do Wife M 35 Durham Heighington
George do Son 6mo Durham Chester le Street
Mary do Daur 5 Scholar Durham Chester le Street
Margaret do Daur 3 Durham Chester le Street

Address Middle Chase, Chester le Street

This is all derived from the censuses and BMD records. It looks right but in order to ascertain whether it is correct you would need to see the marriage certificate and check if her father was called John and he was a Shoemaker.
