Birth of Susannah Charlotte Wilkinson in FreeBMD in April-June 1870 in Southampton (2C 19).
In the 1871 census as Susan Wilkenson (sic - on the original) aged 11, born in Portsmouth, and listed as granddaughter) and living with her mother (Susan Wilkenson), Selena Voter and Alice Wilkinson at (44) Belvidere Terrace, St Mary, Southampton. The index relationships are confusing because it misses the connection with the previous page which has entries for Willam Valler and his wife Kate both aged 29 whom I assume were uncle and aunt, and their daughter (Bates aged 10 months), and another family at the same address - 44 Belvidere Terrace: William Veller (aged 59) and his wife Isabella (aged 50) who I assume were her grandparents and her aunt (Ebbyth). The correct surname is Voller. The entries are nearly illegible in places. I cannot locate her father.
