Arthur Wilkinson possible marriage, Holbeach?
« on: Friday 14 August 09 12:45 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
My Great Uncle Arthur Wilkinson was born c1887, and died 17th July 1931 in Sutton Bridge, Holbeach district. I've found a possible marriage for him, to Alice Harriet Luesby or Lensby, in Holbeach district Dec qtr 1918. I found a birth for  Alice  Harriet under the name Luesby in Holbeach district 1898, Dec qtr.
Does anyone have access to the Holbeach district records please? I would like to know if Arthur was the son of George Wilkinson, farm bailiff, and Elizabeth if possible please, I can then be sure that this is the correct marriage for Arthur.
I think it likely that Alice would have married again, as she was a young widow.
Any help or advise would be very welcome, many thanks.

Have a look at these census reurns:-

1881 Census RG11 piece3227 folio55 page19
George aged 32 Farm Baliff, Elizabeth aged 30

1901 Census RG13 piece 3032 folio13 page18
George aged 49 Farm Baliff, Elizabeth aged 44 and Arthur aged 8 + others

Hope this helps I cannot find them in 1891 the dates are not exact but close

Many thanks for all of the help, I'm sure that this is the right Arthur Wilkinson now.
Again, thank you.
