Hi, Has anyone any notes on the name Watkinson. I am looking for this man who probably came from Sheffield. I have all his relations from his son William's birth. Sheffield Telegraph - He was born in India, February 2nd 1788 and was the only son of Lt. G. Watkinson who died when his son was only a few months old. He was sent to England to his uncle and guardian Joseph Badger, Esq., of this town. He carried on his business in Pinfold Street for many years. I am also searching for his uncle Joseph Badger who had a business in Pinfold Street. In an 1837 Directory he was a Plumber and Painter and William became a painter [house] when he grew up. As Badger was his uncle perhaps the mother of this child was born a Badger and married Lt. G. Watkinson. His mother could have course have been an Indian. Could anyone do me a look up of the 1841 census to see if you can find either man. Thank you in Advance regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com [email protected] www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
