I'm trying to confirm that a Robert Wilkinson (my GGG grandfather) was the father of William Wilkinson (my GG grandfather - born 1830 Kirkby Woodhouse and married a Matilda Marsh).
I've attached William's wedding certificate (bought via Ancestry.co.uk) but his father's names is bizarrely blank or erased.
Have you any idea why this could be?
From your post (many thanks) it would appear Robert is the father of William.
I'm a Wilkinson and live in Kirkby in Ashfield.
Thanks in anticipation.
