Ancestry doesn't show any deaths for anyone of that name and that exact DOB.

(I'm assuming he was born and lived in UK?)


I can see a Harold Wilson, born on that date, but not a Wilkinson.

Or maybe this is a possibility - but it doesn't give exact DOB:


England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Harold Wilkinson
Birth: abt 1914
Death: Mar 1950 - Northwich, Cheshire, England


What else do you know about him? Wife? Children?

The only thing I know is that he's on the 1939 reg with his mum and some of his siblings

His middle initial is not D but R. This is his birth:-

First name(s) HAROLD R
Last name WILKINSON
Birth year 1916
Birth quarter 3
Registration month -
Mother's last name Wilkinson
District Louth
County Lincolnshire
Country England
Volume 7A
Page 984

On the actual image of the 1939 register the middle initial looks like an "R".

Have you checked the CWGC site to see if he was a WW2 casualty

You have put 1914 for birth, then 1916 for 1939 - which?

Ancestry deaths go up to 2007 - he could still be alive.

There is Harold R Wilkinson showing in ER's up to 2014/2015 (?) with a Pearl. The Pearl was probably Dalby, and her birth about 1936, so probably not him.

There is e.g. probate for Harold Richard Wilkinson in 2012 - but that could be a Morecambe death and 1925 birth.
