Brenda, Thanks for the second lookup. The '71 matches the '81 info. Did you see Christopher in prison in 1881 as well. Simon.

Thanks all for that. I'm sure my man was born in Dent so Brenda has him in 1881. The 'Francis' name is a link too. So you found him in 1871. I'm a bit confused withthe 1804 dates though. I think Christopher from Dent had a son b 1849 Manchester also named Christopher. I was hoping the son, Christopher 1849, would be with them in 1871. He doesn't appear to be there. I think Christopher 1849 appears twice in 1881. Once in prison the other at home. Can you look to see if he appear twice in 1871. I think he is a butcher like his father. Thanks Simon.

This is the nearest I can find. He is a widower, but it says his birthplace is Manchester. I supose it could be a mistake if one of the childfren gave the information:- Name: Christopher Wilkinson Age: 54 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1817 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Manchester Ecclesiastical parish: St Matthew Town: Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: 11 Mount Street Occupation: Carter Condition as to marriage: Widower Disability: View Image Registration district: Manchester Sub-registration district: Deansgate ED, institution, or vessel: 25 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 124 Household Members: Name Age Christopher Wilkinson 54 Christopher Wilkinson 10 - son, scholar Eliza Wilkinson 14 - daughter, cotton operative Robert Wilkinson 6 - son, scholar Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 4039; Folio: 102; Page: 24 Kath. x

Hi all, I'm loking for Christopher wilkinson b 1817 Dent, Yorkshire and his wife Isabella b Manchester 1812 on the 1871 census. They should be in Manchester or Rochdale I think. Details on family members occupations etc would be good. Thanks in advance, Simon.
