William J was 31 and a Railway Loco Stoker b 1860 Forsterly Durham

In 1901 they were still living in Simpson Street
William J was 41 and now a Railway Engine Driver
Rhoda was 38
John was not with the family and i can not find a death
2 more children were added to the family being:
Arthur aged 9 b New Shildon

In 1911 we have Years of Marriage 26
Rhoda 48 Married
Arthur 19
Henry 14
They were still living in Shildon but i can not find the address
I do not know how many Children Rhoda had. There big gaps between the children

In 1911 we have William Married, Engine Driver N E Railways Visiting Elizabeth Taylor age 70 born in Fosterley plus Alice Halladay age 20. They are in Stanhope

I would like to find John Frederick Wilkinson and William Johnson Wilkinson's Parent's
Any help thankfully received.

The 1911 does say how many she had  (I think looking at this post and your other one on the family that you have them all)

William Johnson Wilkinson 21 May 1859 Stanhope, Durham, England
John Mary Hannah
It looks like the family moved to Frosterley Parish, Durham after 1861, more children baptised there.

If you scroll down that page, there are excel files for the North Eastern Railway Servants' Pension Society

There is a William 'John' Wilkinson d.o.b. 16.05.1859, died 10.02.40, entered service 12.12.1880, Grade : Driver, Station Shildon. Who may be of interest ?

Its been a long time since I ordered one of these pension records, but from memory it was quite inexpensive (and probably a lot less if you are near enough to visit in person - though having just looked at your profile its more than a bus ride away for you!), if you think its your man and would like a copy. I am not sure what else is in their holdings.
