I am puzzled!...A very normal cry, I know. ;)
I have my WILKINSON family,
John md to Matilda nee (possibly) NORRIS having their children in Tamlaght by Moneymore
( source = IGI extracted records)
James christened 1853; Mary Jane christened 1855; Robert John ( my g grandfather) born May 1861; then 2 called Sarah, 1st born Aug 1858 and second June 1865...
Matilda already had a dau presumably from a mge/relationship with John AIKEN/AITKEN of Coagh and had a daughter Maria Aitken born c 1846 who later md Robert SIMPSON in Coagh. ( Have lots on them)
Matilda and John WILKINSON md in Sep 1852 in Tamlaght (Ireland Marriages 1619 - 1898 - LDS)
and I believe I have them on the Griffiths Valuation
Now...to 1881 -
I have Matilda with her sons James, Robert John and dau Sarah ( the latter) living together with Robert and Maria SIMPSON nee AITKEN living next room/next door.
There is no trace of the family prior to this 1881 census and no John - hubby and father - and no 1st Sarah with them or anywhere....
I believe they both died back in Ireland and Matilda moved with family to work in Glasgow.
I have picked up 2 WILKISON deaths ( minus the 'N') in Cookstown that I believe are my John and the 1st Sarah..
.Name: John Wilkison
Registration District: Cookstown
Event Type: DEATHS
Registration Quarter and Year: 1866
Estimated Birth Year: 1812
Age (at Death): 54 ................................... and
Name: Sarah Wilkison
Registration District: Cookstown
Event Type: DEATHS
Registration Quarter and Year: 1865
Estimated Birth Year: 1858
Age (at Death): 7
Both are from Extracted LDS Parish records
How do I go about finding evidence for my theory??? Am I just being fanciful that these 2 may be mine?
Any help would be gratefully accepted. :)

Hi, I am Lindsay, 2G grandaughter of Maria Aitken Simpson and 3G grandaughter of Matilda Norris Wilkinson ... I just came across your message. Sarah didn't die in Ireland, she married in Scotland and had many children. This is a very old message, PM me if you are still looking :)
