Member Since: November 2006 Posts: 51 Send Message	I am looking for two of my great x 4 uncles, John Wilkinson b 1807 and Thomas Wilkinson b 1803. They came from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and were baptised at St Johns Church their parents Robert Wilkinson and Jane Stobbart, second and third sons. They do not appear on any of the censae or Bishop of Durham transcripts. However they, possibly they, do appear in IGI records of the 1880 census. John Wilkinson living in Cedar, Iowa, 73 years old, retired farmer, married to Hannah Wilkinson, with three grandchildren called Blowers staying with them. And Thomas Wilkinson living at Genessee, Winconsin, 77 years old, retired farmer, married to Mary Wilkinson. Both came from England - no signs of birthplace or who parents were. Now their original family were barley farmers and maltsters, and possibly they took this farming to the USA (Milwaukee is nearby). Anyone with such an interest, would you mind looking it up for me.

	I noticed, on the 1880 census, that Anna is not listed as wife. She's listed as "other". She was born in Pennsylvania as were her parents.

	There's a tree on Ancestry that has David Thomas Wilkinson born 1803, Brandon, Suffolk, England and died (it says) between 1870-1880 but then it says that he's on the 1880 census in Genesee, Waukesha, Wisconsin. It says he married Mary Howes 21 Nov.1828, Methwold, Norfolk, England and was on the 1850 census, Macoupin Co., Illinois, 1860 Porter Rock, Wisconsin, 1870 Waupaca, Wisconsin and 1880 Genesee. Children: Harriet 1828, Jane 1830, Amy 1830, Caney (male) 1831 and David 1832.

	Another tree on Ancestry has John Wilkinson born 20 Mar. 1809, Newcastle, Northumberland, married Hannah David 10 Sep. 1832, Bald Eagle, Centre Co., Pennsylvania. died 11 Nov. 1896, Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa. One child was Clementine who married an Unknown Blowers. Also a son Roy Carpenter Wilkinson born 1850. This family looks like the first one that Alviegal posted the 1870 census for. I would say that this John certainly looks like your 4x gt. uncle but I'm not sure about the Thomas.
