Hello.
Does anybody have access to the marriage details 28th Sep 1921, Winnipeg, Manitoba between William James Atkinson and Martha Kathleen Johnson?
In particular I am interested in date and place of birth for William and his fathers name and place of birth.
I am hoping to connect this William with William James Atkinson the son of James Atkinson and Mary Levitt. William Jame's birth was registered Jul/Aug/Sep quarter of 1885 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England.
I believe this William died in 1973 with Obituary in the Calgary, Alberta newspapers.
Many thanks.
Bob

James Atkinson married Emily Levitt 23 December 1880 not Mary.
They had the following children (mother's maiden name Levitt)
Thomas Henry 1881 reg. Pontefract
Evelyn Sarah Anne 1883 reg Tadcaster
William James 1885 reg. Tadcaster
Maud Mary 1887 reg Thirsk
Susannah Gertrude 1890 reg. Thirsk
John Richard 1892 reg. Thirsk - died 15 September 1916 Flanders France.
Sydney 1895 reg. Thirsk
Edith Dorothy 1898 reg. Thirsk
Stanley 1902 reg. Thirsk
This William James had 4 sisters and 4 brothers.
You would need to trace each relative and find death dates and perhaps find more death/obituary notices to establish relationships.

Susannah Gertrude 1890 possible marriage to Charles Dobby 1916
Death 1917 age 27.
Edith Dorothy 1898 married Harry Clarkson 1927 - she died 1975?
Evelyn Sarah Anne 1883 buried 15 February 1961 never married.
At this point 2 sisters have died before William James Atkinson
Did all the brothers die before 1973?

Thank you all for all your replies, with a big thank you to Sandra and Amondg.
I will work my way through them but it certainly appears that William Atkinson who married in 1921 is "my" William James Atkinson.
The clincher is Sydney Atkinson sailing to Quebec in 1925 to visit his brother, William. Father, James Atkinson address of 12 South Crescent, Sowerby, Thirsk matches the address I already have of him.
Thank you all, another one off my tree successfully "hatched, matched and despatched" :)

Thank you all again for all your hard work.
Don't know why I originally put "Mary" Levitt when I know very well it is "Emily" Levitt, I have the marriage certificate, must be a tryping error!
