Hi
Im looking for any information (especially birth and marriage) of George Wilkins born 1841 in Lutton Godts, Lincolnshire

He married ? Unsure of wife's name, but i do know she had passed away after the birth of their last child Polly born 1888 as George Wilkins is a Widower on the 1891 & 1901 census returns, i cannot find any census returns prior to 1891 that fit.

They had the following children:
Eliza E Wilkins - 1872
Samuel Wilkins - 1876
Charlie Wilkins - 1883
George Wilkins - 1886
Polly Wilkins - 1888


Many thanks
Joanne

Hi Beverley
Thank you for your help. Just to clarify,
Eliza E Wilkins is Wilson?
Joanne

Hi Joanne
The census record says
Jas Wilson - married -son-in-law
Eliza E ditto - married - daughter

It has been transcribed wrongly. The 'ditto' refers to Wilson and not to Wilkins.

(That being said, I can't see a marriage record on FreeBmd)

This looks as if it is Samuel's birth registration ........................


the ideal way to find out his mother's name (and therefore George's wife, legal or common-law), would be to buy this certificate ............
