Hi Josey, (and Dobfarm) 

I pulled out a descendant tree that Trevor (1) sent me some time back, (I've really got to get down to putting all the extra info on my Family Tree programme, Illness over the last couple of years has slowed me down.)  Yes I found the marriage info on it, also that they were buried at Westgate Chapel.  Their son Daniel and his wife Elizabeth Hill were buried at Undercliffe Cemetery.

As far as I was aware the only Wilkinson in our tree was Martha, Phineas's mother, she was born in Allerton in c1742.

But on looking through this latest tree update I found two more, a Wilfred Wilkinson married Flora Illingworth in 1903, I have no birthdate for Wilfred but Flora was born 1877, no places or children listed, Flora's parents married in Bradford.
 
The second one was Harold Crabtree Wilkinson, 1904-1985, born 28 June 1904, married 7 August 1930 to Madge Illingworth, born 19 May 1905 in Fernbank, Bradford Road, Shipley, she died 10th July 2003, Steeton Court Nursing Home, Steeton, Keighley.  Harold died 12th June 1985 in Northallerton.  No children listed.

Re: cats, my three were all born to feral mothers, you would never know it now, they are real home loving cats, though Rappy, the tux (mommy's boy) likes to hunt, he keeps bringing me presents.  I don't mind the mice but I wish he'd leave the rats outside!  We lost our matriarch Sammy jo at the age of 23 years, two months and 9 days old, she was a real bossy boots tortie.

Hi Soup,

Thank you for that info, I believe William and Ann Hutchison /Hutchinson would be related to Edwins paternal grandparents, Christopher Pybus and Jane Hutchinson, uncle and aunt possibly?

I have been trying to find the Family of John and Eliza SELBY, apparently first found in St. Peter's Parish (1841) with six children. Then in 1861 in St. Nicholas Parish with son John who is listed as a Soldier on furlough from the 60th Rifles.  This info was passed to me by a friend in Minnesota, she got it via an unknown third party, but I have been unable to find or corroborate it.  We are particularly interested in an elusive soldier called John Selby who left England for Canada with his Regiment, the 4th Bat. 60th Rifles, aboard the 'Great Eastern' later in 1861,  and this John may possibly be our missing link.    Jacsel.

I am trying to find more details on Benjamin Illingworth who married Mary Unwin on 28th July 1825, Womersley, Yorkshire.

I am told that the Womersley records are held at WYAS, Wakefield and if anyone is able to do a look-up for me, I would appreciate it, I need to know Benjamins date and place of birth, and especially his parents names, etc.,

Thank you Tati,  Now I know that Thomas and Jane had another child, Jane E.  Annie Maria married in 1870 and both her older brothers had flown the nest.

To anyone else reading this, I am still interested in the 1861 census, if you have it.  Thank you.  Jacsel
