Hi to Everyone,
I e-mailed Stanley and he was kind enough to point me in this direction. I am looking for any information on the Wilkinson family. This all started when a cousin gave my sister a card recording the burial of a Rycroft Wilkinson of Blera Side in August 1867. This card was in the possession of my grandmother who died in 1949. ( Grandfather died in 1947 ).
Well, to cut a long story short ( I know history is a long story !!! ) I have obtained the marriage certificate of a Joseph Wilkinson of Broach House who married Caroline Harrison of Noyna Hall on the 24th december 1837. On the marriage certificate it names Rycroft Wilkinson as Joseph's father, and a Joseph Harrison as Caroline's father. Under occupation Joseph and Caroline are Weavers (Rycroft was a Weaver and Joseph Harrison a Rougher ?). Following this through in 1839 Joseph and Caroline had a son named Rycroft, born 6th July 1839 at this time they are living in Moss Houses ??. It is this Rycroft who I believe is on the memorial card., and who I believe is my Great Grandfather.
I have requested my grandfather's birth certificate from the CRO to see if Rycroft is named as his father. Any information on Broach Houses , Noyna or Moss Houses would be very much appreciated. I thank you for reading this, great site for information.
Yours sincerely
Frank Wilkinson
ps Currently we live in Aberdeen so we can't come down to Foulridge/Colne until March time, to investigate further.

Hi People,
All weekend I have been on the trail of the twins Caroline and Mary Wilkinson. I am now 95% sure Caroline married a Thomas Stow at Glusburn around 1892. He is listed as a Hawker/ Greengrocer & Caroline as a dressmaker. Elizabeth Carolines mother was also a dressmaker . It appears they have a son Robert. E Stow .
I also think I have found the entry for Mary Wilkinson's marriage at Skipton 9a 74, but time will tell.!!!!!!! I haven't yet found the other half of the entry.

Just popped in to see how you are getting on.
The 1901 entry Household Members: Name Age John T Brewis 21 Caroline Stow 33 Robert E Stow 3 Thomas Stow 34
posted by Gloria has fascinated me because I have a connection to the Brewis name from Northumberland!! And it has reminded me I haven't had time to bring that side of my research up to date recently. Not that I have time at the moment mind, but I might try and squeeze in some searches to see whether John T is related to my Brewis's.
After all, the dust won't go away on it's own and will still be there tomorrow!!

I found them but it can't be the right ones because Florence Elizabeth was their eldest child and they did not marry until 1888. Also places of birth are incorrect. I just had a thought whilst walking the dog - I wonder if they emigrated? I have checked deaths - no records of them dying, I tried Wm. - Dowson, - Florrie but no trace 1901. Found 2 Florence Elizabeths marriages in 1907 but one was Bolton and one Gt. Ouseburn.

Hi Gloria,
Just looking at Mary A Dawson. I know Mary didn't have a middle name, It's just Mary on her Birth Certificate
