  I have found the baptism record using the information you have provided  on the LDS pilot site and the father Matthew is listed as a pitman.

Hi Gobbo, I think Jo has already been using the familysearchlabs site  :)

Just to give you an update, as it turned out I didn't manage to wait that long to take me long to decide I could justify ordering another marriage certificate( ;)) and it came today.  Details as follows:

Jonathan Wilkinson & Elizabeth Alderson married on 9th feb 1852, in St Giles, Durham. 
Jonathan is a minor, Elizabeth is of full age.
Both are in residence at Dragon Villa.
Jonathan's father is named as Matthew Wilkinson (Waggon-man).
Elizabeth's father is named as Thomas Alderson (Farmer).
Witnesses to to the marriage are William Tilly and Jonathan Wilkinson (his mark).

So there is more evidence to support this christening:

2 possible baptisms, 1st looks likely, 2nd is probably for the one Jen found in 1841:

Houghton-le-Spring  St. Michael & All Angels
29 Nov 1833 Jonathan Wilkinson, of Middle Rainton, born 9 Oct 1833, son of Matthew Wilkinson & Mary



I also think that the Jonathan Wilkinson who is a witness to the marriage fits in well with the 1851 census return I found with a younger Jonathan listed as a nephew.

Another potential record that was brought up as a possible for Margaret, that jumps out a bit more (if she is Jonathan's sibling is this one):


Pittington  St. Lawrence
22 July 1838 Margaret Wilkinson, of Pittington, child of Matthew Wilkinson (waggonman) & Mary

It also puts Elizabeth's latest dob at 1831 (contrary to nearly all later census returns).  I'm not sure how many years she might have knocked off, but there is a baptism record for an Elizabeth Alderson born to Thomas and Margery (possibly connecting nicely back to the lodger with the Wilkinson's in 1851), Barnard Castle, 1829, which seems a stronger possibility now.

Would be grateful for anymore help finding Matthew in 1841 (I think I am happy to take him as found in 1851 with the witness link) and Elizabeth in either 1841 or 1851 based on this new information.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm a bit late for this thread - can we resurrect it for a bit? I'm interested in Jonathan Wilkinson (b 1833 or so) as he's my Great great grandfather. I'm keen to find out a bit more about his father, and a few of his sons.

I can't see anything on this thread that contradicts what little I've found, and it add/confirms a lot.  :D Matthew is my favourite for being Jonathan's father, but I've never tracked Matthew on any census. I think that's because he didn't make it that far. Durham records online has an entry for a burial for a Matthew Wilkinson in 1838. There's a birth date of about 1808, and the birthplace or abode is given as Pittington. There's an entry for the death of a Matthew Wilkinson in Q2 1838 of the deaths index, but I can't make out the district. The Pittington connection fits in with the Margaret christening at Pittington st Lawrence.

Hi Wilkohunter,

Jonathan is also a direct ancestor of mine, and Iwould be interested in sharing info. 

This is going to sound stupid but I can't remember for sure off the top of my head the name of his son who my relationship is through.  Matthew I think but maybe Jonathan.  I will pm you when I back from work tonight with the details.

Best wishes,
Jo

Hi Jo,


I know I'm related to Jonathan by his son Jonathan. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you.  :)
