Note: WILKIE Thomas 1877 185 St. John's Admin. 4 Thomas senior was a sergeant in the "Royal Victoria Regiment" and "Royal Newfoundland Regiment" and lived in St. John's Newfoundland between 1812 and to at least September 1828. His occupation was as an armourer. He returned to England and lived in Kent after 1828. In 1844 we know he was a warrant officer in the British army living in Woolwich, Kent, England. We assume that son Thomas, born in February 1812, went back with the family and eventually returned to live in Newfoundland. Thomas junior married Charlotte Leicester December 26, 1836 in the Royal Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, Middlesex, England. This is the chapel in the Tower of London. Family legend was that they married in the Tower of London where Thomas Wilkie senior worked. The four surviving
children mentioned in the petition were Charlotte Augusta Wilkie born
7 Sep 1854. She married Samuel George Carnell Collier of St. John's. These
were my maternal great grandparents. They both died in St. John's.
John William Carnell Collier was a brother of Samuel George Carnell Collier. |
