looking for information on father and mother of alfred wilkinson, born circa 1869, place unknown, (father john wilkinson, mother mary burkett), Alfred's marriage to elizabeth henderson was at Castle craig lodge, newlands in 1890, certificate shows him as a veterinary student and his father as a farmer (deceased). His address at that time was 99 Broughton street edinburgh.
It looks as if elizabeth had a sister mary jane henderson who was married the same day to James Milne welsh.
Marriage cert attached.
Can anyone help
Hi there, very excited to read your post and hoping you are still using this website. Alfred is actually my Great Grandfather. I can tell you he was in the RAMC, he had a son David Henderson Wilkinson (my paternal grandfather), Duncan Wilkinson and a daughter Mary McLean (nee Wilkinson).
Did you find much else out about them and how are you connected to them?
I literally have just started my family tree today (after years of threatening to do it) and am surprised how much I am blistering with excitement to find these things out.
I know from family forklore that Alfie's mother owned the post office and local shop in Peebles, she was married to a vet but my belief is that she was not quite "up to the mark" of the Wilkinson's in what I believed was Kendal but may well be Keswick. I believe she and the vet (who was from a well to do family) moved to Peebles and in fact I actually have her engagement ring, which is soon to be my engagement ring.
I am so excited to find this page and would be grateful to any one for any information or indeed to find out how you may be connected.
Thanks so much in advance
Lana Wilkinson
