Your post struck me because the son and father are both called William and they pre-date the earliest i have. From the family tree i have it is clear that having the name william somewhere in the name is part of a family tradition that stretches back on my tree to 1773, sadly my father's generation and his father's generation were unaware of such a tradition. I was wondering if you had any information as to where the two William Wilkin's you mentioned were from, as my tree is all based around cambridgeshire Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
