Kilroy & O'Neil Leeds early 1920's

[ciderdrinker]

Hi
His parents are Albert Cuthbert Wilkinson born 1887 Ancaster Lincolnshire and Elsie Richmond born 1897 Leeds.
They married at Leeds June 1919.
Eldest Lilie Mona born 5.4.1920 at Kings Norton ,Birmingham.
And it looks like they moved back to Leeds after that.
There are some possible younger siblings but they could just still be alive and they are not together in 1939 so it may not be all family.

Thank you for your input. Glad of the help, as there was another Wilkinson family in Leeds. Parents Emma b 1856 & Joseph, b 1855 who had 7 children in the Hunslet district of Leeds between 1875 and 1901. They had a son called Albert, who was born 1886

Hi
Going back to the O'Neills.
John O'Neill was an Army pensioner.His pension record is on FindMyPast.He signed up 1865 and left 1869 before being called back until 1885 .That's why he moved around so much.
Unlike the usual records of the time his pension record is quite full ,a description ,mention of his 1879 marriage at St josephs Guildford to Sarah Breech ,lots of postings and times in prison for his misdemeanours .Place of birth in the County of Cork at Ballyhead ,Kinsale .Apparently he drank a lot.And over stayed his leave.
Well worth taking a look .I can pass a copy on if you haven't got FindMyPast.
