Jessie Wilkinson
Matthew Graham married Jessie Thornley Jul-Sep 1877 Middlesbrough district. Their children have MMN Wilkinson on the GRO index but I can't find her birth (supposedly around 1849 Ormesby or Guisborough, Yorkshire) or her first marriage, if there was one.
This is the 1881 census: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...=successSource And the 1891 census: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...=successSource Any ideas? |

Thanks for that, Kat! The father's name looks useful.

The reason I'm interested in Jessie is that one of her descendants is a DNA match to me, with shared matches on my Sewell line, so I was wondering whether Jessie could be related to my 4xg-grandmother Mary Wilkinson, born 1802 at Hodsock, near Blyth, Nottinghamshire, who married John Sewell.
This is Mary's brother Benjamin in 1841 in Sheffield: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...92499168/facts Benjamin Wilkinson 30 Labourer N Elizabeth Do 35 Y William Do 5 N Mary Ellis 10 N Joseph Ellis 10 N Thomas Do 5 N. Evidently the children's ages have been rounded down to multiples of 5 like the adults'. Benjamin had married widow Elizabeth Ellis 30 Sep 1845 at Blyth, Nottinghamshire. I don't know her maiden name, but her previous husband was a Thomas Ellis. This is Elizabeth in 1851, and I had assumed that Benjamin died between 1841 and 1851, but maybe they just separated (or of course it could be that they separated and then Benjamin died before 1851!) https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...88513695/facts Osberton, Nottinghamshire Joseph Marsh Head Mar 44 Cow Man York Beighton Elizabeth Do Wife Do 43 Do Stone Mary Do Daur U 16 House Servant Notts Worksop John Do Son U 10 Scholar Do Do Thomas Ellis Son in Law U 18 Ag Lab Notts Blyth William Wilkinson Do U 15 Groom Do Do John Black Lodger U 29 Ag Lab Do Ordsall. So Benjamin probably wasn't married to Jessie's mother - assuming that Jessie's father is my Benjamin. Just need to find Jessie on some previous censuses, with or without Benjamin. |

Hmm, there is this family in 1861 - this Benjamin is 42, younger than mine, but his birthplace is right, and then he is 49 in 1871, so maybe he kept knocking years off his age? Jenat could be Jessie except for age and birthplace being wrong.

In 1871 they also have a Benjamin 9 born Durham Cockfield, Violet 6 born Yorks Rosedale, and Frances 3 born Yorks Rosedale. I suppose they could be in Scotland for the 1851 census. |

They were in Stanhope, Co Durham, in 1851:

Kate, just to confirm, my 2x-great-aunt Janet Richardson was also known as Jessie. She was Scottish too.

Yes, thanks, Elizabeth, I have come across a few Scottish Janets known as Jessie.
