The census info must have been given to you when you asked about the Bensons....

FMP always shows when one has accessed a record in the past...........

I hope you have noted the correct forename for the woman this time.

And that you will be able to find all her siblings' baptisms...........

Thank you for help. I myself have never asked for assistance with information on the Wilkinson family, however I have regarding the Benson family. Apologies if this has caused frustrations. I will refrain from asking for assistance in the future.

Could you please confirm the correct year of birth for Mary as you have ebntered it incorrectly as 1888 above - should this be 1788 or something other?

Also, when and where did she marry ?

Thanks,

I am trying to trace the ancestors of my 3rd generation Grandmother Mary Wilkinson 1888-1864. She was born in Ousefleet Yorkshire, but lived in East Butterwick Lincolnshire after marrying my 3rd g Grandfather William Benson 1770-1854. They had 4 children, Martha, Mary, Thomas and John. I have all of this information but have no idea who her parents were. Can anyone help please?
