Again, it would be helpful if you would reveal some more of the information which you already hold should you wish to progress this. Such as the 1843 marriage details...

I couldn't find a Wilkinson baptism in Whitstable, no Wilkinsons at all at All Saints.

[Seaham]

Richard Wilkinson lived at 5 Vane Terrace, Seaham Harbour (not Dawdon) in 1861 with his wife and four children. There is a photograph of this street on my website www.east-durham.co.uk

Hi Compo

Although the 1841 census for the Whitstable area is missing, I wouldn't be surprised if your Richard was part of this family found there later

Ann dau 24 b.Whitstable

There are some baptisms for Seasalter on the IGI (batch number I013499) but only females at present ie. Mary Elizabeth (Richard & Emma) 1820 and Annie (Richard & Annie) 1827 http://www.familysearch.org

Nice website there Seaham.  I will have a better look later as we have a relative that "migrated" there from Kent too.
