Hi Carol,

I think Aubrey Wilkins must have been born after 1900 as he doesn't appear on the 1901 census.

Wilkins living in Blackthorn in 1901 are:

Household 1
William Wilkins      60     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Cattleman On Farm
Rebecca Wilkins      61     Oxon Hethe     Oxon     Blackthorn
Albert Wilkins      34     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Agricultural Labourer
Amos Wilkins    20    Oxon Blackthorn    Oxon    Blackthorn    Shepherd On Farm
George Wilkins      27     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Agricultural Labourer
Herbert Wilkins      23     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Agricultural Labourer
Alice Wilkins      3     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     
Emily Wilkins    16    Oxon Blackthorn    Oxon    Blackthorn
Rebecca Wilkins      61     Oxon Hethe     Oxon     Blackthorn

Household 2
Hannah Wilkins      75     Oxon Arncott     Oxon     Blackthorn
Charles Wilkins      31     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Farmer
James Wilkins      68     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Cattle Man
John Wilkins      65     Oxon Blackthorn     Oxon     Blackthorn     Farm Labourer
Robert Wilkins    24    Oxon Blackthorn    Oxon    Blackthorn    Farm Labourer

Household 3
Jane Wilkins      79     Oxon Woodstock     Oxon     Blackthorn

I would guess that Aubrey may have the same father as Alice age 3 and that it is probably one of Williams sons who was married and living at home (his wife was maybe away for the census?)

I checked on the 1881 census to check that the younger Wilkins were sons of William and not just living in the same house as labourers. These are the Wilkins familys from the 1901 census in 1881:

household 1
William WILKINS      M      Male      40      Blackthorn, Oxford, England      Ag Lab
 Rebecca WILKINS      M      Female      40      Heathe, Oxford, England      
 Albert WILKINS      U      Male      14      Blackthorn, Oxford, England      Ag Lab

There were a few other Wilkins in the same area you can check them on the LDS site: http://www.familysearch.org

I had a quick look on the freeBMD site for the birth of Aubrey but didn't find it, but it is of course work-in-progress. http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

Hope this is some help,

Hi Carol,

Just checked the freebmd website again and there is a birth registration for:
Births Sep 1909
WILKINS    Aubrey St Swithin         Headington    3a   1067   

It isn't quite the right registration district and may be a bit late datewise but is still in Oxfordshire.

Otherwise perhaps you'll have to try the 1837 online website which shouldn't be too bad as I guess Aubrey isn't a too common name.

Good luck,

Emily
