London and Middlesex / George Green married to Wilkie Plews
« on: Tuesday 14 March 17 04:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to find any information on George Green and Wilkie Plews.
I have the following information -
a) Wilkie Plews - b. 29 Apr 1835 in Newbattle, Midlothian, Scotland; d. Jul 1887 in Newington, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.
Parents -
Father - Matthew Plews - b. Abt. 1791 in Crakehall, Yorkshire, England ; d. 16 Mar 1876 in Newington, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mother - Jane (Jean/Janet) Wilkie - b.
? ; d. (between 1835 - 1838) - I have not found Jane's birth or death.
There were about 10 children in this Plews family, all born in Newbattle. Wilkie was the youngest born in 1835. Her mother Jane died some where between Wilkie's birth in 1835 and 1838, when Matthew married for the second time to Elizabeth Phipps on 16 Dec 1838 in Newbattle.
b) In SP I have found -
Wilkie's birth - 1835 to Parents Matthew Plews and Jane Wilkie ;
The 1851 Census - Wilkie is a Household servant, aged 15, in the Robertson household (in Hamilton Lanark), born in Newbattle, Edinburgh.
Wilkie's Death - July, 1887 in Newington, Scotland - Name as Wilkie Green, aged 52,
She was a Housekeeper (domestic servant), widow of George Green, butler; Witness, William Cairns, Nephew.
c) In FamilySearch - found Wilkie in the 1841 Census - aged 6, in Well, Yorkshire North Riding, England living with a family (Palliser) that is not her own - possibly relatives?? I'm guessing that her mother Jane has died by this stage. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQ5Z-S7X
d) I have found the birth of a son - George Wilkie Green

Mr George Wilkie Green (82), of Bank Street, Westmead, died in hospital at Bondi
on Sunday. His wife pre-deceased him. A daughter survives. The funeral left the
parlours of Charles Innes and Son, parramatta, yesterday for the Church of England
Cemetery, Rookwood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no information about Wilkie after 1861 Census and when she died in 1887, apart from the birth of son George in 1861.
The missing years - when did she move to London and what was she doing, her marriage to George Green, any information on George Green and his death (he must have died before 1887 as she is mentioned as a widow), any other children, etc.
Any information would be most appreciated,
