Hello,
I think Thomas Wilkinson might be in my family - I'd be descended from his brother Ernest.
Does any of the following sound right?
I've found a birth record for a Thomas Herbert S Wilkinson in Apr-May-Jun 1873, registered in Walsall. I'm sure that Thomas is in my family. I believe he turns up in the 1901 census in Walsall, down as Thomas Wilkinson, but married to Elizabeth (apparently born in Newark, USA) with a son Sidney (b 1900). Do you think he married twice?
I coundn't find a death record in the index for Herbert Wilkinson in 1956 in Walsall..
