Many thanks Pricklyholly
I do already have this info., I should have been more specific ~ sorry. I am specifically looking for John Wilkinson born 1906. I have no info on him at all. I would love to find a marriage for him or children.
I have no details at all. I do have all his brothers and sisters. I guess I shall have to make a visit to the local archive in West Bromwich, but as I live in Penzance it's a bit difficult. Have to have an 'awayday ' or two, lol
Regards,
Ann.

Many thanks all who have looked up the Wilkinsons for me, it is much appreciated.
Regards,
Ann

So sorry Reggie, very rude of me. Of course I am most grateful to all who replied to my post. Thank you.
Regards,
,Ann

(Died at 53 Newall Street, West Bromwich)

The death does not actually fit with the birth date though does it?

If he was born late 1906......his birth would not have been registered until early 1907.

If he was born 29 Jan 1906........his birth would have been registered in 1906.

Oh hang on.......

Is this him??
