I have a William William Wilkinson christened 13.10.1850 in Wolloton and married to Mary Warburton on 04.09.1881. His father may be Jarvis/Gervace/Jervis Wlikinson christened 07.11.1802 in Wolloton, died 31.01.1875 and married to Elizabeth Hooley on 24.12.1832. Elizabeth was born on 09.02.1799. I have Jarvis's posssible father named Richard Wilkinson married to possibly Elizabeth Woodward? not sure on anything other than William and Mary

Hi Shirley

Just wondered if you have any siblings for William? Looking back on all my previous searches I think that Williams parents are possibly James/Jarvis/Gervace Wilkinson and Elizabeth Hooley. They were married 24.12.1832. On two separate census returns he is down as James on the 1841 and Jarvis on the 1851, all with the same children and wife. William was christened on13.10.1851.I am still searching for a birth for William but not having much luck.
