Ancestry of Thomas Edward Wilkinson[edit]

The following section was edited on 5 September 2020 to remove places of birth and death. I am replacing the information here, because geographical background and context mattered in the 19th century, and I think that today it helps to understand the man a little within his own time and context. This background information is not about helping Wilkinson descendants to make a family tree (they don't need us for that); it is about giving as much information possible which may help researchers find out what it was that made T.E. Wilkinson live that kind of life.

Wilkinson's father was Hooper John Wilkinson, (Queen Square, London 1800 – Walsham Hall 26 May 1883),[1] a magistrate and proprietor of a 240-acre (97 ha) farm employing eight labourers and four boys in 1851.[2] His mother was Anne née Howlett (Yoxford or Blythburgh ca.1805 – Bardwell rectory 18 June 1884).[3][4][5][6][7] Hooper John, Anne and their son Octavius are buried in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Walsham le Willows.[8]

Thomas Edward Wilkinson was the sixth son, having at least ten siblings. He was born at Walsham Hall, Walsham le Willows, Suffolk on 26 December 1837.[9][10] His eldest brother was barrister Hooper John Wilkinson (Sibton 30 December 1822 – Brighton 1904).[11][12] His other elder brothers were George Howlett (Suffolk 24 January 1828 – Ipswich 1879),[13] Charles Ellis (b. Sibton 1829), Harry Evan "Henry" Wilkinson (b. Walsham Hall 1834) and Rev. Octavius (Walsham Hall 1836 - Hinderclay Rectory 30 April 1870).[14] Octavius attended Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and was made priest alongside his brother Thomas Edward.[5][15] The youngest brother was Joseph Henry Newman (b. Walsham Hall 1850).[16] His sisters were Anne (b. Sibton 1824), Mary Ann (b. Walpole or Bramford 1826), Elizabeth Frances (b. Walsham Hall 1833) and Edith Margaret (b. Walsham Hall 1847),[2][17][18][19]
