Thanks for the reply. Yes I have the basic info and hoping to get to the info on William's father Thomas elder. All I know is his death and will but not about his birth, marriage etc. Thank you.

Thank you Trish this is worth looking into in detail. The Crawfords were a weathy family from Seaton Delaval with some members coming to South Shields. One problem I can see is that most of the Wilkinson family have christian names which flow through, but no Susannah or similar. No help in local newspaper searches either. Thanks.
