I can see what looks like a second marriage for William Wilkinson aged 50, widower, Manufacturer of Thornton, father Joseph Wilkinson, Weaver to Sarah Feather aged 50, widow of Thornton, father Jonas Bentham, Farmer at St Peter, Bradford on 28 November 1854.  Both made their mark.

and living next door is the other son
john wilkinson age 30. b. thornton. occ. worsted master of 7 men. head(unm)
sarah wilkinson age 59. b. thornton. occ. house keeper. mother in law.(i think this is another way of saying stepmother)(widowed)

so by this william must have died between his second marriage in 1854 and this census entry 1861

St Peter Bradford - 27 June 1858 - Stephen Wilkinson 33 bachelor Manufacturer of Thornton, father William Wilkinson, farmer married Ann Elizabeth Fawcett 26 spinster of Thornton, father John Fawcett, Grocer.  Both signed.  Witnesses appear to be church officials.

the son stephen is at the same address in 1871 along with his family plus his uncle samuel
he is still there in 1881 minus his uncle
i cannot see a definite sighting of either williams 2nd wife sarah or his son john after 1861 census
