HI, Thanks all, yes does seem to be the right ones, except for the death as I have my husbands grandmother born in 1897 but that could be one of the Census things being a year out. But I am still stuck with Thomas's parents, anyone got a clue on that. please.
Thanks again.

I am trying to find the parents of Thomas Wilkinson born in Birmingham c 1863. He married an Elizabeth (Lizzie) surname unknown and they had 6 children, one of which was my husbands Grandmother.
It is believed that he commited suicide after his wife died in the early 1900s.
Thanks for all your help.
