Hi Nancy, Thanks for replying. We both ventured to the same sites and I couldn't find anything. I didn't find the Frederick Wilkins baptism on the 25 Dec 1832 - it certainly is possible. As for the name it didn't sound French to me - Vizard might but not Wilkins. I will keep Wales in mind and start researching around that. Thanks very much Regards Tracey -----Original Message----- From: gloucester-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gloucester-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Frey Sent: Monday, 5 September 2011 3:56 PM To: gloucester@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GLS] Wilkins/Vizard family Hi Tracey, I had a look around for you and found absolutely nothing on the IGI or FreeREG c. 1820 for a Frederick WILKINS. I couldn't even find his marriage in 1848 in Dursley. But on Family Search I found a Frederick WILKINS baptised 25 Dec 1832 Fairford, Gloucester, parents Richard & Mary Ann WILKINS. Batch No C04514-1, England ODM Film No. 856942. I realize this is a little later than you were looking for but Frederick may not have been baptised as a child. But I don't think he is your Frederick as he appears in the 1861 Census in Wales. That didn't surprise me as I do believe that WILKINS is a Welsh surname. Have you looked in Wales for his Baptism?
