William James Atkinson born England 1885
« on: Wednesday 03 January 24 16:00 GMT (UK) »
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.

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?
