ENOCH WILKINSON (born c1817) in 1861
« on: Thursday 23 June 22 21:44 BST (UK) »
More help please
Trying to locate Enoch Wilkinson on an 1861 census.
Found him on the 1841 and 1851 census' living in Basford, Nottingham
In 1861 his wife and their family still live in Nottingham
In 1871 he reappears with the family living in Sunderland
I've tried a search for Enoch Wilkinson on the 1861 census using 1817 (+/-5) with no place name specified with no luck. The random search did come up with an E W (born1813) in the local gaol close to where his family were living. His trade is listed as a potatoe trader which ties in with his wifes occupation as a fruiterer on the 1861 census where his family is living. Is there any way to confirm this is him?

HI,

In 1861 E W is a "Prisoner Debtor" this would fit with,


Perry's Bankrupt Gazette 06 April 1861
Gazette April 2 1861
County Court, Nottingham, April 17, at ten

Enoch WILKINSON, dealer in potatoes, Nottingham.

 
Regards,
Daisy

While I was looking at the papers I also found this which might be of interest,

Shields Daily Gazette 16 September 1873

Evening Daisypetal
I'm convinced that the 1st clip is Enoch.
Pretty sure the 2nd clip also relates to Enoch (street hawker on the 1871 census) but could be his 19 year old son. I will probably check his whereabouts at a later date.
All help relating to this topic is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all
Jim
