    The very bottom line is an error by the census taker. That IS my Great Great Grandfather Thomas WILKINS, not Walker. I have seen this record myself. Thank you again for your help. I

    Thank you, 'brummy-lad'. My Grandad left Birmingham for Canada in 1887, age 12, but my Dad said that his father was a Brummy through and through. Kept his accent until his death in Montreal in 1939. His Grandfather lived on Howe Street, as mentioned above. I have been to Birmingham many times...

    My Great Great Grandparents lived on Howe Street in the 1840's and at least half of the 1850's. His name was Thomas William Wilkins and her name, Eliza Berks Wilkins. Any insight or photos would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robert N. Wilkins, Montreal, CANADA robertnwilkins@yahoo.ca
