- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Some family researchers note that Christopher Wilkinson was buried 18 Jun 1774, but the entry per FHL film 252545 for Bellingham parish in Northumberland simply states: "Christopher Wilkinson of Whitehall Nook, 8 Jun 1774," which is not enough information to truly make a definitive conclusion. Those same histories however assign the following children christenings to him which is somewhat problematic considering he would be long dead for the last children if the burial is in fact correct.:
-John, chr 24 Jul 1757, Templegreen. [Confirmed correct by me per FHL film 252545.]
-Thomas, 25 Feb 1759, Shillafield. [Confirmed correct by me per FHL film 252545 except location should be Shelleyfield.]
-Jane, 30 Nov 1760, Shillowfield. [Confirmed correct by me per FHL film 252545.]
-Eleanor, 6 Nov 1762, Sheelafield. [Confirmed by me per FHL film 252545 that there is no such entry.]
-Peter, 4 Mar 1768, Sheelafield. [Confirmed by me per FHL film 252545 that there is no such entry.]
-Unnamed dau., 25 Apr 1772, White Walls. [Confirmed correct by me per FHL film 252545 except date is 29 Apr 1772.]
-Christopher, circa 1779, d. 15 Feb 1801, Temple Green. [Confirmed by me per FHL film 252545 that the actual entry states: "Christopher Wilkinson of Templegreen and son of Ann Wilkinson, widow, bur. 15 Feb 1801, age 28 [est. birth ca. 1773].]
-Elizabeth, 21 Dec 1801, Temple Green. [Confirmed by me per FHL film 252545 that there is no such entry.]
-Mary, d. 18 Sep 1795, Stobbilee. [Confirmed correct by me per FHL film 252545 except no parent is identified. Note that there were more than one Wilkinson in the parish.]
In summarizing the above, I believe that Christopher Wilkinson did in fact die in 1774 and that John, Thomas, Jane, Eleanor, Peter, "unnamed daughter," and Christopher were his children. Also by linking the son Christopher to his mother Ann, we know she was a widow by 1801 in Templegreen which links nicely to the burial entry reported separately below.
CHRISTENING:
1. FHL film 252545, church records for Bellingham parish, Northumberland, christenings from 1720-1750 for a father Thomas of Dunterlee (there are many Charltons since this is the area of the ancestral home of the Charltons, but the registrar was very good at always identifying a residence for each entry). These are the only Charltons identified with the abode of Dunterley and we can presume them as one family:
-30 Apr 1727, Lionel, son of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-23 Apr 1730, George, son of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-27 Dec 1731, John, son of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-24 Jun 1733, Ann, dau. of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-27 Dec 1735, Elenor, dau. of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-13 Oct 1737, Thomas, son of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-25 Apr 1739, Edward, son of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
-16 Jun 1743, Jacob Joseph and Jane, twins of Thomas Charlton, Dunterlee.
MARRIAGE:
1. FHL film 252546, Bellingham marriage records beginning 1754, I don't see marriage records for the following of Thomas' Children: Lionel, George, or Jacob; however, the following ones should be investigated further for the other children:
-11 May 1757, Ann Charlton and Christopher Wilkinson, both of the parish, wit: "Jhon" Wilkinson and Edward Charlton. [Many family histories believe this is our Ann.]
-7 Dec 1757, Thomas Charlton and Margt. Lows, wit: Sidorf(?) Elliot and William Charlton.
-14 Jan 1758, Jane Charlton and Peter Dodd, wit: Robert Lovejoy and John Ridley.
-4 May 1760, John Charlton, of Barnsteed in the par. of Simonburn, and Dorothy Scott of Greenhaugh of this chapelry, wit: George Forster and John Ridley.
-Abt. 29 Jan 1761, Edward Charleton and Margaret Reed, of Stobilee of this chapelry, wit: Jno. Dunn and John Lam. [Many family histories believe this is our Edward.]
-31 Jan 1762, Thomas Charlton, of Burnbank in this chapelry, and Christian Dodd, of Buteland of the parish of Chollerton, wit: Michael Dod and William Hall.
-24 May 1767, Eleanor Charlton, of Stobbylee, and John Scott of Antenhell, both of this chapelry, wit: Thos. Charlton and Thomas Charlton. [Many family histories believe this is our Eleanor.]

-Abt. 29 Aug 1786, Edward Charleton, esq. of Lechall in this chapelry, and Isabella Laing, of the parish of Ateaham(?) in North Britain, wit: Gab'l Goldburn, John Ridley, and Edward Heron.
BURIAL:
1. FHL film 252545 for Bellingham parish in Northumberland for husband and wife:
-Christopher Wilkinson of Whitehall Nook, 8 Jun 1774.
-Ann Wilkinson of Templegreen, widow, 5 May 1816, age 82. [This age approximates an 1733-1734 birth which works great with the christening record of 1733.]
