Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: 1700s birstall and batley
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 15:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello.

I have a distant memory of finding record of a Jeremiah Wilkinson's bankruptcy in a historical directory - and chose to ignore it! I'm finding far too many ancestors who seemed to being doing very well for themselves then blew all their money! Or left it to a different branch of the family!

I have marriage certificate for Thomas and Nancy, and Nancy's death certificate if you want a copy. I'd have to email them to you as the link below says I can attach images - but then doesn't let me! I don't yet have Thomas's death certificate but I know he died in 1901 - Jul-Sept, Dewsbury 9b, page 440 if you wanted to get a copy.

Happy hunting

Kath

Hello.

As far as I've found, the Jeremiah Wilkinson I was looking for (born 1779 -  also with middle name Riley) was the grandfather of your Jeremiah Riley Wilkinson.  JW born 1779 (married Sarah Firth - see below) was father of Thomas Wilkinson born 29th May 1813 in Birstall. He was a rag trader & blanket manufacturer. Thomas married Nancy Clegg (b 1818, d 1854) and they had three children: Sarah (who is my direct ancestor), Thomas Riley and Mary. Thomas lived till 1901.

I've never managed to find out much more about Jeremiah senior. It says on Thomas Wilkinson's marriage certificate that his father was a schoolmaster, but have yet to find out where - or when he died. Can't find him on the 1841 census either.

Hope that helps - let me know if you want any more info - if I can help, I will.

Regards.

 :D ;D :) Thank you very much! The outlines fit with what I've got - but the details make the picture much clearer.

Thanks for your time

Saw that ChrisBros has stuff on Birstall and Batley in the 1700s. Don't know what you've got - it might not be any more than I already have - but worth a try!
Would love any info that you've got on the following people who were my ancestors:

JEREMIAH WILKINSON  born 19th Dec 1779 Birstall
                                      married 15th Sept 1803 Birstall to 
                                      SARAH  FIRTH

BENJAMIN WILKINSON   born 27th April 1760 Cleckheaton
                                      married 16th Dec 1773 Birstall to
                                      THOMAZIN WADDINGTON
RICHARD WILKINSON     born ? possibly 1723 in Wibsey
                                      married 16th July 1753 Birstall to
                                      MARY SUGDEN

Ta ever so!
