Hi to all Wilkinson researchers and family,

GEORGE WILKINSON (b. 1803?), wife Mary (b. 1804?), and family came to AUSTRALIA from LINCOLNSHIRE ENGLAND in 1840 on the Bussorah Merchant.

His son, WILLIAM WILKINSON (b. 1833) settled in TAMWORTH NSW and died there in 1902, aged 72, after raising a large family.

WILLIAM married HANNAH BODLEY (b. 1843) at TAMWORTH IN 1861. Hannah, also Brittish, died at Tamworth in 1918.

Seeking more information about George, Mary and family.

Can anyone help me add to our Wilkinson history?
