Definitely Derbyshire but on the actual census is does not look like Satton, Could be Seddon, but I don't think so. Also, Wilkinson looks like Wilkenson.

In 1861 Matilda Wilkinson is living in Old Meeting Lane, Coseley, along with her sons Jabes and Thomas and daughters Ellen and Matilda. She is a widow.

Trying to find the maiden name of Matilda - every child's birth reg I find seems to be in Basford (borders Notts and Derbyshire). Although the census states Tipton and Sedgley, Stffordshire. The only birth reg for Joseph Wilkinson seems to be Basford too. Perhaps someone else on the forum can find something different.

Now I have found them. Registered in Dudley. MMN Farmer so now to look for a marriage. Not having much luck though, do you think they may not have married?

I think that JOSEPH Wilkinson died in 1853 aged 37 - death registered in the Dudley Registration district.

Jabez Wilkinson son of Joseph and Matilda baptised 18 Oct 1840 at St. Martin's, Tipton, Staffordshire. Jabez married 1866 Caroline Davies at Onecote, Staffordshire. Birth registered in the Dudley Union district – Mother’s maiden name Farmer.

Sarah Wilkinson born about 1838 married 31 Oct 1859 at St. Martin's, Tipton John Stanway.

Matilda Wilkinson nee Farmer married William Webb 29 Oct 1866 at Ettingshall, Staffordshire and her father was Thomas Farmer.

Matilda Webb died 1908 aged 89 – see Dudley Registration district.
