Hello Timothy
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with this.
How interesting that you got to visit Alkington Hall. I haven’t had chance to visit myself, however it looks like a lovely old building from the images available online. The house seems to have been let to various farmers over the generations. I have been meaning to travel to Whitchurch to see the graves you mention but with other commitments I haven’t had time.
As well as the christening of William Wilson, I found the christening of his siblings viz.
Children of Thomas & Mary Wilson
1778 Apr 7 John
1780 Aug 8 Catherine
1782 Aug 1 Fanny
1783 May 28 Thomas
1787 Jan 30 Mary
1788 Jan 26 Mary
1789 Jun 16 Sarah
1791 May 21 William
1794 Jul 28 James & Ann
Thomas Wilson married Mary Boulton @ Whitchurch 16 Sept 1777
Yes, by 1841, Jane Wilson was married and living with her husband, George Bayley. I think she had at least one child by him before he died and she remarried George Harris.
In answer to your question re Jane’s christening at Eastham. In those days it was common practice for a child to be christened in its mother’s home parish. Looking at Jane’s entry I noticed the christening of a William Wilson Jones s/o Joseph (a farmer of Great Sutton), & Mary Jones earlier the same year - 1815. Perhaps a relative of yours?
Catherine (Kitty) Wilson was buried at Whitchurch on 23 July 1832.
Hope the above is of interest.
