Trying to find Wilkinson

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Does anyone have any Wilkinson's from Thorne in Yorkshire? My Great Great Grandfather Richard Charles Wilkinson was born in Thorne in 1823. His parents are listed as William and Sarah on the IGI. I am having problems finding any information on them. Richard married Jane Gibson in Hull 1846 and they continued to live there. I don't know if William and Sarah were from Thorne or Hull. Both Richard and William were shipwrights so it is possible they could have moved for their work. Can anyone help me please?
