Hi, Wonder if you could please help me trace my grt grandfather. I have had help already from another kind person on this site but am stuck again. Will give details I know. 1892 Henry Joseph Christopher Wilkins married Jane Petty he lived at 60, Canon St, Winchester. 1896 on my grandmothers birth cert he lived at 21, Water Lane W/ter and was named as Henry Joseph Christian Wilkins. 1891 no info. 1881 lived 47, canon st W/ter. 1871 Henry T (J?) wilkins lived Newport Isle of Wight. My problem is I cant find any record of his birth and no info for 1891 or1901. In 1901 wife Jane is listed as Jane Wilkinson head of household living in Wigan. I know he didnt die until 1930s. Its poss he could have been in Boer war but cant confirm this. sorry this is a bit longwinded!!

Hi Fairy,
Sorry for the delay in my reply and thank you so much for yours, I have had problems with my keyboard over the last couple of days.
I am only guessing at these ages, Marie would roughly be 75, Patrick 78-82, Daniel 82-85 . Haven't a clue about Elizabeth's age but she had a married name of heinz as a young woman and had a daughter called Carol I believe. Thank You so much for taking the time with this as any help is a great help
Regards,
Bernadette.
