John Wilkinson    Family Tree 

Siblings of Catherine Knox (nee Wade) Isabella   Clement   Wade   was   born   in   1886   at   Chester   Moor,   near   Chester   Le   Street,County   Durham.   Her   christian   names would be after her Great Grandmother, Isabella Clement. Unfortunately Isabella died in childhood in June 1981. Ann   Wade   was   born   in   December1891   in   Castle   Eden,   County   Durham.   Birth   registration   Ref   Easington      Vol   10a   Page   431. I   cannot   find   any   records   to   indicate   if   she   did   or   did   not   get   married.   There   is   a   death   registration   which   may   refer   to   her indicating that she died in  1962 aged 71 - Durham Western Vol 1a Page 888 Eleanor     Wade      was     born     on     18     December     1894     at Trimdon,     County     Durham.     She     married          James     W Henderson   in   March   1914   but   he   was   killed   in   action   on   1 October   1915   in   Flanders.   They   had   two   children   John and   Mildred   (Millie)   John   used   to   drive   a   grocers   van around   local   villages,   including   Shilbottle.   After   my   father died,     everyone     was     walking     on     eggshells     round     my mother.   It   was   John   who   gave   her   a   good   talking   to   and reminded   her   of   her   responsibilities   to   her   children.   She later   thanked   him   for   his   straight   talking   although   I   can’t imagine    her    being    too    impressed    at    the    time.    John married    Margaret    E    Millican    in    1938    and    had    two children,     Malcolm     and     Keith.     Malcolm     died     young, drowning   while   swimming   in   a   the   River   Coquet,   near   the   Black   Bridge   at   Warkworth.   Millie   married William   Henry   in   1933   and,   I   think   they   had   one   child,   Patricia,   born   1942.   When   I   was   10   or   11   I   used   to bike   down   to   Amble   and   go   sea   fishing   with   Willie.   I   then   took   my   share   of   the   catch   to   Harry   Nyberg’s fish   and   chip   shop   at   Shilbottle   in   exchange   for   a   fish   and   chip   supper.   The   first   time   Eileen   and   me   ever went   abroad   was   to   Majorca   for   our   tenth   wedding   anniversary.   We   went   with   my   mother   and   Millie.   I think   she   sang   ‘The   harbour   lights’   all   the   way   back   home.   Eleanor   married   Lundy   Hind   in   1918   and   they had   two   daughters,   Catherine   born   1921   and   Eleanor   born   1924.   Late   in   life,   after   Lundy   died   Eleanor moved   into   Shortridge   Hall,   an   old   peoples   home.   Her   daughters   then   persuaded   her   to   move   to   a residential   home   at   Kingsbury,   near   Tamworth.   Once   when   my   mother   was   visiting   us,   she   asked   if   we would   run   her   across   to   Kingsbury   to   visit   Eleanor.   I   had   just   taken   delivery   of   a   brand   new   car   that morning   and   wasn’t   too   keen   on   leaving   it   in   that   area,   so   I   stayed   with   the   car   when   mother   went   inside. When   she   came   back,   the   car   wouldn’t   start.   I   refused   to   bump   start   a   brand   new   car   so   I   rang   the   garage. They came out and bump started it. Anyway, forgetting the car, what a missed opportunity! Elizabeth   (Lizzie)   Wade   was   born      in   June   1987   at   Amble   in   Northumberland,   the   first   of   the Wades   to   be   born   outside   County   Durham.   She   married   James   G   Gillon   in   1920   and   had   four children,    William,    born    1921,    John,    born    1922,    Maisie,    born    1926    and    Margaret,    born    1930. Apparently   her   husband   was   a   bit   of   a   drinker   and   only   went   to   work   to   be   able   to   buy   his   ale.   Lizzie obviously   got   fed   up   of   this   and      he   arrived   home   from   the   pit   one   day   to   an   empty   house.   All   the furniture   was   gone   and   the   only   thing   left   was   an   onion.   I   was   told   by   Margaret   that   one   of   the   last things Lizzie said to her was ‘never trust a Gillon’ John   died   in   infancy   in   1923,   aged   1   year.   William   married   Charlotte   Anderson   of   Newcastle,   in   1951. Maisie   married   James   Davidson   and   had   three   sons   and   Margaret   married   Robert   Wade   Hart   at Morpeth   Register   Office   in   1956.   They   had   one   son,   Brian.   Robert   was   a   miner   working   underground at Woodhorn Colliery. He later became a jewellery salesman then moved on to selling insurance Robert Wade was born at Amble in 1899 but died in infancy in 1900 Mary   Wade   was   born   in   1902   at   Amble   and   married   James   McKenna   in   1921.   They   had   two daughters,   Doreen   born   1923   and   Muriel   born   1924.   Doreen   married   Walter   Hiram   Savory,   a   native of   Cirencester,   in   1942.   They   had   six   children,   Doreen   born   1943   and   Margaret   M   born   1946,   both in   Northumberland.   Their   next   four   children   were   all   born   in   Cirencester,   Charles   J   born   1948, Trevor born 1949, Ann born 1950 and Colin born 1953. Muriel married John Armstrong in 1941 but died young in 1949 at Cirencester The   issue   of   the   1911   census   brought   a   new   member   of   the   family   that   no   one   knew   about.   Gertrude   Wade   was   born   in 1905 at Chevington Drift in Northumberland. Unfortunately she also died in infancy in 1905
