I can see what looks like a second marriage for William Wilkinson aged 50, widower, Manufacturer of Thornton, father Joseph Wilkinson, Weaver to Sarah Feather aged 50, widow of Thornton, father Jonas Bentham, Farmer at St Peter, Bradford on 28 November 1854. Both made their mark.

St Peter Bradford - 27 June 1858 - Stephen Wilkinson 33 bachelor Manufacturer of Thornton, father William Wilkinson, farmer married Ann Elizabeth Fawcett 26 spinster of Thornton, father John Fawcett, Grocer. Both signed. Witnesses appear to be church officials.

the son stephen is at the same address in 1871 along with his family plus his uncle samuel
he is still there in 1881 minus his uncle
i cannot see a definite sighting of either williams 2nd wife sarah or his son john after 1861 census

Sorry I have looked and cannot find an entry for William in 1803 ish ...
-
(At whose birth was present - Mary Wilkinson - her mark X)
I think that this reads Nancy Wilkinson :-\

what relation might this be?
-
I think you are right Rosie after looking at the other registers I believe that it is Nancy Wilkinson (and not Mary - writing is quite poor) wife of John Wilkinson (also a Weaver) maybe a brother to Joseph? their son Joseph Wilkinson was born in 1804 (nee .. Nancy Haworth) again baptised in the Queens Head Baptist Chapel in Clayton, the family lived in Queenshead, Northowram
-
I also wonder whether Joseph Wilkinson married again? there is a Joseph Wilkinson (Weaver) and his wife Nancy Wilkinson daughter of James Smith baptising their children in the Queenshead Baptist Chapel in Clayton and what is particulary interesting is that the service for the baptism of their son James in 1820 was conducted by Jonathan Bairstow the name Bairstow has already cropped up in the earlier census when 'neice' Sarah Bairstow aged 11 is living with William & Sarah.
-
this could be the neice in 1841

-
I can see the children for George & Nancy Bairstow (nee Frith) (not Sarah) as unfortunately the registers end before she was born but the others are there, not sure if you want them ? if you do more than happy to list them.

Sorry bloogy I was getting side tracked ::)
Thank you Captain2 for clarifying that. ;D OH = my other half who has James Wilkinson bn c1813 Swamp, father Jonas in his tree. I just thought that Joseph could be related as they are living very close in 1841. ;D
Back to looking for bloogys family,

sarah wilkinson age 59. b. thornton. occ. house keeper. mother in law.(i think this is another way of saying stepmother)(widowed)
That is exactly what it is; and of course that is exactly what she was legally. This shows how usage of words has changed in a comparatively short space of time 150 years or so. Well to remember that when transcribing older documents.
