Distribution of the family
name in 1881.Ancestry of a family of stonemasons with origins in Bidford-on-Avon.
Head of family possibly Joseph WILKES (1648) & Sarah QUINNEY who married in 1703.
Son Robert WILKES (1703) = Sarah BAILIS/BAYLISS (m. 1729) had children Joseph WILKES (1730), Paul WILKES (1733), Sarah WILKES (1735), John WILKES (1738), Betty WILKES (1741), Solomon WILKES (1743) & Job Benjamin WILKES (1748).
Solomon WILKES married Mary SALE, including daughter Sarah WILKES (b. 30.1.1783) who is probably the second wife (married as "widow") to David Benjamin POPPLEWELL, Cordwainer, who married 12.10.1812 Edgbaston (Sarah apparently remarrying using her maiden name). The fact she was given a widow may be in error since no first marriage has been found.
