I am new to the list and I am nor sure is if this is the correct list or if I should join the Dorset list. My Great grandfathers brother WILLIAM WILKINSON was born Wandsworth London around 1881 but I am told he became a Railwayman like his father, and was a Bournemouth councillor and JP I have tried google with no success. I am also told by 3 older separate family members that the Public baths at Bournemouth that have now also gone had a commemorative stone he laid. I do remember relatives vaguely in the Bournemouth area in the late 1950's but no detail and I think they must have been his family rather than him, does anyone have any clues or suggestions were to try please. Thank you

Bournemouth was part of the County of Hampshire Janet till the boundary changes around 1974. But I expect people on this list can help, but why not join the Dorset list as well, take two bites of the cherry so to speak.

I have taken your advice and hope someone has some clues about him.I will also ask my uncle when he saw the stone as a child as it may help me a bit. thanks Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris and Caroline" <chris@chayles.freeserve.co.uk> To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] Wlliam Wilkinson of Bournemouth > Bournemouth was part of the County of Hampshire Janet till the boundary > changes around 1974. > But I expect people on this list can help, but why not join the Dorset list > as well, take two bites of the cherry so to speak. > Chris > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "janet cook" <janet.cook3@btinternet.com> > To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 4:19 PM > Subject: [ENG-HANTS] Wlliam Wilkinson of Bournemouth > > > >I am new to the list and I am nor sure is if this is the correct list or if > >I should join the Dorset list. > > > > My Great grandfathers brother WILLIAM WILKINSON was born Wandsworth > > London around 1881 but I am told he became a Railwayman like his father, > > and was a Bournemouth councillor and JP I have tried google with no > > success. > > > > I am also told by 3 older separate family members that the Public baths at > > Bournemouth that have now also gone had a commemorative stone he laid. > > > > I do remember relatives vaguely in the Bournemouth area in the late 1950's > > but no detail and I think they must have been his family rather than > > him, does anyone have any clues or suggestions were to try please.
