  • Record Office: Beverly, East Riding, UK Lookup Request

    Would appreciate if anyone could search for my ancestor, Moses Wilkinson, in the East Yorkshire Militia archives found at the Beverley, UK archives center. According to the 1810 baptism of his son, Moses Wilkinson was born in Sowerby, West Yorkshire. There are several Moses Wilkinsons born in Sowerby between 1760 and 1790 and I am trying to determine the approximate year of his birth.

    In 1806, a daughter named Sarah was born to Moses Wilkinson and his wife, Ann Bailey, at Woodbridge, Suffolk. His occupation was listed as "East Yorkshire Militia". According to family tradition, my 2nd great-grandfather, Charles William Wilkinson (c. 1813-1880), was born in Edinburgh, Scotland while his father was serving in the British Army. It appears that Moses Wilkinson had his wife and child in tow while he was serving in the militia.

    I'm hoping to determine the age of Moses Wilkinson from his enlistment record. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
