Hi Esther.
Thank you for the info.
I do have only my Husband grandmother death certificate.
And only says Walter John and Emma as her parents.
I once looked in the IGI to see if I can find her parents from where she
born but there was no sign of them from where she was born, but then I
throught. I look in Shropshire.
Cause my husband also has WILKINSON in the family.
Thank you again for the info.
>From Annette.
