WILKINSON, Charles Frederick c1875-1900

[fullscott]

This man (possibly Frederick Charles) joined the army in 1893 as William CLARKE, so is "mis-filed" in the WW1 Service Records (WO 363):

Joined the N Lancs Regt (as Wm CLARKE) at Preston on 29 Jun 1893.
Declared age 18y 6m, born Manchester.
Regt No: 4055, which later changed to 22518.
"Name changed to CHARLES FREDERICK WILKINSON" 27 August 1895.
Died (abscess of liver) 21 May 1900.

Parents (no surname shown): FREDERICK & ELLEN.
Brother: THOMAS.
Sister: CLARA.
Parents' address: 13 Thomas Turner Street, Manchester, later changed to 29 Rumford Street, Salford.

It is unclear which surname is "correct".
