In 1948 Charles Wilkinson of St Annes donated three engravings to the Collection, all (after) Walter Dendy Sadler RBA: Boon Companions (Cronies), acc no 151, A Sure Cure for Gout, acc no 152 and a third of which no details have been uncovered at the present time.
Charles Reuben Finall Wilkinson was born in Salford in 1877 to William, born 1833, a coachman, and his wife, Sarah, born 1836. William and his sister, Sarah, had moved in the 1860s from a small village called Hunton, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, to Broughton, an area of Salford. Within a couple of years both had married and settled in the Kersal Moor area of Salford. Sarah married John Bromley. In 1908 Charles married John and Sarah’s daughter, Margaret Juliet Elizabeth Bromley, his first cousin, in Manchester Cathedral. In the censuses of 1901 and 1911 he is described as a “cotton salesman” and a “traveller in drapery.” Charles was an Able Seaman in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in WW1. His son, Vernon, was born in 1920. The family moved to the Fylde, living at 28 Devonshire Road, St Annes on Sea. Margaret died in 1955 and Charles in 1956. Charles left £9,389 in his Will. |
