Title: 1841 & 1851 Census lookup
Post by: Sunnycoast on Saturday 04 February 06 12:50 GMT (UK)
Thomas & Margaret (Burnup) Wilkinson moved around Durham according to the births of their children, but Iam unsure where there were during the 1841 & 1851 Census

Info I have
Thomas Wilkinson b 1804 Castle Eden, Durham
Margaret (nee Burnup) b 1804 Wolsingham Durham
children
Mary Ann b 1832 Sunderland
William Stephen b 1833 Haswell
Ellen (Ellena) b 1834 Tuthill
Elizabeth b 1835 Tuthill
John bc 1837 unsure where born
Thomas b 1838 Tuthill
Anthony b 1839 South Hetton
Ralph b/d 1842 Easington

Are these towns close to each other?
The family left Durham in 1856 and moved to Talbot Victoria Australia.

Many thanks from Oz.

Hi

There is this entry for 1851, but some of the children are missing.  Did all of those children emigrate ?

Many thanks Helen

Yes all the children listed on the cenus did sail to Victoria Australia

The only children that I could find who died prior to 1856 was Ralph. I assume that John & Anthony died young.
