Mary Wilkinson c1795

[judith54]

Hi

I'm looking for a birth/baptism for Mary Wilkinson. Until recently I thought she was the daughter of John + Jane nee Shacklock but then found his will from 1815 in which his daughter was referred to as Mary Ann Wilkinson, spinster. My Mary married Huddleston Taylor, Aug 1811, in Bishopwearmouth - they had at least 5 children Jane, Susannah, George, Mary + Ann. Huddleston's parents were George + Susannah. My presumption is that Mary's Mum was called Jane but have no clue to her Dad. As Huddleston was a shipwright I wonder if this could also apply to Mary's father.                                                                                                                   

In Monkwearmouth there is a burial of Jane daughter of George + Jane Wilkinson in 1795 - he was a seaman from Shore so wonder if they had a daughter Mary born c 1795 (Mary died Feb1848 aged 53)

Unfortunately the Bishopwearmouth BTs are not on familysearch. The record I found re the wrong Mary was found initially on durhamrecordsonline and then a copy obtained from familysearch when you could request copies (a very valuable and much missed service).

Does anyone have access to BTs for Bishopwearmouth to see if there is a baptism for Mary, possibly to George/Jane, or have any other suggestions

Thank you
Judith

Thank you Emeltom - a possibility but there are no children called either Peter or Margaret however that doesn't exclude them as there maybe children I don't know about.

thanks Judith

Worth remembering that it wasn't obligatory to name children after their grandparents. I think that only occurs in the Jewish faith, but I could be wrong.
