Hi,
I wonder if you could help me tie up a few loose ends with one of my branches
.
Edwin Wildgoose (or Wilkinson) born Cromford Derbyshire 1812, Married to Sarah Britland 29 Oct 1838, born Cromford 1811. Their first child William born 1839 Cromford. He is living or staying with his grandfather Jesse Britland in Cromford in 1841 on census night. But, I can not find his parents.
I have his parents in 1851, 61, 71, and 81. And this is not easy as on the census returns he and is family are recorded as Wilkinson. Edwin was born out of wedlock and his father or stepfather, Joseph Wilkinson married Edwin's mother, Dorothy, two years after Edwin's birth.
I must also add they could be anywhere.
Their second son (that I know of) was born in Salford, Lancashire 1847. In 1851, they were still in Salford, in 1855 and 1856 two children born in Derby. 1861 they were in Nottingham, 1871 Retford, Nottinghamshire and then finally 1881 they were in Beetham, Westmoreland. I presume they died after this as they did not show up on further census returns.
I have two problems. firstly I would like to find them on the 1841 census and secondly I would like to find out when and where they (Edwin and Sarah) died.
All help will be very much appreciated.
