| Gender |
Male |
| Occupation |
4 Sep 1844 [2] |
| Brickmaker (on his daughter Mary Ann's marriage register). |
| Notes |
- His surname is BURTON, not Barton. TNG had "Barton", a misreading. His daughter Mary Anne was baptised at Eccles St Mary on 27 June 1819 as daughter of Robert and Sarah Burton (Ancestry: Manchester, England, Church of England Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915), and her marriage to William Wilkinson at Manchester St Mary on 4 September 1844 names her father as Robert Burton (Ancestry: Manchester, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930). He married Sarah Cropley on 23 April 1810 at Manchester Cathedral (Ancestry: Manchester, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930; other indexes read the name as Cross or Croply).

 | Marriage of William Wilkinson (widower, joiner) and Mary Ann Burton - St Mary's Church, Manchester - 4 Sep 1844
Photocopy of the parish register, St Mary's Church, parish of Manchester, County of Lancaster, 1844, page 157, entry 313. Married 4 September 1844 after banns. William Wilkinson, full age, widower, joiner, of 29 Spear Street; father James Wilkinson, porter. Mary Ann Burton, full age, spinster, of 28 Spear Street; father Robert Burton, brickmaker. Witnesses' and minister's names hard to read (perhaps John Brooks and Agnes Rae; minister perhaps Edmund Jones). On this copy the bride's surname could be read Barton, but Joseph Wilkinson's 1847 birth certificate (media 138) gives Burton. William was already a widower: his first wife Ann Finney (married 1829) had died. Entry 314 below (James Hancock x Mary Bryan) is unrelated. |
