Matthew Wilkinson 1807-1838 death and family

[mongojoby]

William Robinson married Mary Wilkinson September quarter 1843 registered Stockton Vol 24 page 165

To update on this, apparently this isn’t their marriage. Just had an email back from the GRO, saying although they are on the same page they didn’t marry each other.

My that's a surprise

[mongojoby]

Yes I guess their eldest son being registered in Auckland rather than Stockton may give further clues.

I did have one other ancestor who was widowed twice young, so will look into that too.

Does the accident report say where he was living at the time.
Mary Wilkinson 1841 with 6 six children is at John Street.

Second question
When Jonathan married he says Matthew is his father who are the witnesses?
If they are family it might help sort out who is who.   

ADDED
Saw the other post and Witnesses are William Tilly and Jonathan Wilkinson.

[amondg]

Could we start again the families are confusing.

Who are you a descendant of that you believe Jonathan Wilkinson and Elizabeth Alderson are the parents.

[mongojoby]

Matthew Wilkinson, 1852, Hetton-le-hole, who marries Elizabeth Robinson, 1858 (not yet had chance to look into a potential Robinson link).

I have a copy of a photo of Matthew with his 3 brothers, Jonathan, John Thomas & George Alderson taken in 1921.

To your earlier question, I don’t have the 1838 accident report for Matthew abt 1807, so all I have is what has been noted on the Durham Mining Museum website and don’t know if the reference to Mary and children came from a documented record or a family researcher.

I get very confused on this line too - think because the line back if right, goes Matthew Wilkinson, Jonathan Wilkinson, Mathew Wilkinson then Jonathan Wilkinson and get them muddled up!

Thanks again!

This is your family?
Matthew Wilkinson married Elizabeth Robinson 1877 reg. Durham
children
Elizabeth Ann 1878  Houghton le Spring
John Robinson 1879      same
Margaret Alice 1881   same
Jonathan 1884    Chester le Street
Frederick 1886 Houghton Le Spring
Matthew  1888      same
William 1891
Margery 1893.
-------------------------
His Father
Jonathan Wilkinson married Elizabeth Alderson 9 Feb 1852
children
Matthew 1853  Houghton le Spring
Elizabeth Ann 1856    same
Margery 1857   twin          same
Mary      1857  twin  same
Jonathan   1859  Auckland
John Tom 1862    Gateshead
George Alderson 1864  Chester le Street
Esther   1868     Houghton le Spring
Esther    1870   same
-----------
1861 There  is a Sarah who I think is the first Esther 1868 I can't find a registration for a Sarah
The second Esther is on another census as Hettie  so possibly should be Hester not Esther.
-------------------

Thomas Alderson married Margery Sugget 20 October 1816 Arkengarthdale  Yorkshire
children
Esther  circa 1817 bap 14 October 1821 age 4 * father labourer.
Sarah   circa 1819       same day           age 2
Michael    circa 1821   same day
Anthony bap 6 June 1824
Christopher bap 25 July 1826 Bowes York
Elizabeth bap  18 January 1829 *at Barnard Castle  Durham 
----------------

So Esther who married Jonathan Wilkinson circa 1840 (need name of his father)is sister to Elizabeth who marries another Jonathon Wilkinson 1852 (father Matthew W)

Possible death for Thomas Alderson- Buried 11 December 1828 aged 36 Barnard Castle.

1841 Census
Margery Alderson 50
Elizabeth 13.      (marries Jonathan Wilkinson 1852 whose father is Matthew W) her father Thomas Alderson - farmer.

This marriage has been transcribed independently on Durham Records Online. https://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/NewSearch.php

A bit of cross-referencing on a search of the index confirms that Jonathan's father was also called Jonathan, and that Esther's father was called Thomas. Abode at the time of marriage was Collier Row.
