Find Ancestors

I am trying to find Walter Wilkinson on the 1891 census but seems to have disappeared! He was born c1863 in Manchester. On 1901 census he is registered with his wife Emily (27) (nee Brown),and children Adeline (10), May (2) and Thomas E (1) On 1881 census he is living with his parents James P (45), Amelia (46) and siblings James (20), Amelia (19), Emily (14), Sam (12), Jashua (7), Minnie (4). On 1891 census he has appeared to leave his parents home please help if you can!! Thanks

is this their marriage Marriages Sep 1897 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BROWN Emily Chorlton 8c 1368a WILKINSON Walter Chorlton 8c 1368a

If this is Adeline birth then she was born after the census Births Sep 1891 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WILKINSON Adeline Clementina Prestwich 8d 331 I think Emily might be Walters 2nd wife

Hi Julie thanks for your help with this. Yes I think thats their marriage and birth of their child. I am pretty sure thats Emily with her parents in 1891 as it ties up with her brother living with them in 1901. No sign of Walter though!! He seems to have disappeared!! He is a 'lamp lighter' for the local corporation on the 1901 census xx

hi again Julie just noticed they got married long after their 1st child was born. Do you think Adeline had a different mum?

Kimberley I don't think Adeline is Emily's, if you get her B/C for parents name they might be easier to pick up in the 1891. Julie

Hi Yes i do on the 1891 Emily was working in a school and she was 17, if Adeline was hers she would of been pregnant, kind of like not seeing it happening if you know what i mean Julie

Thanks Julie I will send off for her birth cert today!

Kimberley please don't slap me if im wrong, but i would like to know Take care Julie

Lol! I have just noticed that Adeline was actually born in Fairfield (wherever that is!) and all the rest in Manchester so it is looking more like you are right! Thanks again....I have been looking at this for ages and its always good to have a fresh pair of eyes to point out the obvious!

wonder if this is her moms death Alice Wilkinson abt 1865 1896 Oct-Nov-Dec Stockport Cheshire, Lancashire just guessing .poss marriage Walter Wilkinson 1885 Apr-May-Jun Chorlton Lancashire View Record Alice Wrigg 1885 Apr-May-Jun Chorlton Lancashire

Hi jenny fantastic...I will go and have a look for a Alice Wilkinson on the census

hi there the only problem with that is then Adeline must have been born 1st qrt 1891

heres the 1891 for what Jennifer found Walter H Wilkinson Age: 30 Estimated birth year: abt 1861 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Alice Gender: Male Where born: Crewe, Cheshire, England Civil parish: Normanton Ecclesiastical parish: Normanton Town: Normanton County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Wakefield Sub-registration district: Sandal ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Alice Wilkinson 27 Walter H Wilkinson 30

DROYLSDEN, a township-chapelry in Manchester parish, Lancashire; on the Rochdale canal and the Manchester and Sheffield railway, 4 miles E of Manchester. It includes the hamlet of Little Droylsden, and the villages of Fairfield and Clayton; and it has a station on the railway, and a post office under Manchester the death in 1891 sound more like it,

It says he was born in Crewe so it cant be him.On all other census records he was born in Manchester. He must have had Adeline with someone else and Fairfield/Prestwich seem close to match with the birth. If Alice is the mother then Adeline must have been born 1st qtr 1891 and hence show on the census? When were they conducted normally?
