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.

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.
