Mary Wilkinson (Dewhurst) - Doubt over Mary Wilkinson's parentage

Hi Greg,

Anne Reffin is the mother of Esther Byrnes which was the name on the profile prior to your changes.

If you disagree with what is on Geni, please don't change profile names to completely different people - start a discussion to work out what has happened.

I have reversed all of the following changes that you have made.

* undeleted John Wilkinson [Convict "Royal Admiral" 1800]
* Sarah Wilkinson removed birth date of 20/11/1791 and burial date on c1838
* Esther Wilkinson
** changed her name from Mary WILKINSON nee DEWHURST back to Esther WILKINSON nee BYRNES
** removed birth date 13/4/1823 Samlesbury, Lancashire, England UK and added 1815 Australia
** removed death date of January 1904 Preston, Lancashire, England, UK
** removed 4 sources -

** removed marriage date 3/7/1848 Blackkhurn, Blackburn with Darwen, England
* undeleted John Ralphin
* undeleted David Byrnes, Convict "Friendship" 1800

Reviewing the profiles one by one

Ann (Reffin - Griffin) Byrnes [Convict "Experiment" 1804]
Ann REFFIN / GRIFFIN
* born 27/1/1783 England - daughter of John REFFIN/RALPHIN and Ann WARD John Ralphin and Ann Ralphin
* died 26/7/1839 Australia
* was convicted and sent to Australia, arriving in 1804
married David BYRNES on 23/10/1810 Australia (David Byrnes, Convict "Friendship" 1800) and had children
* James 1806 Australia James Byrnes married Harriet NICHOLSON
* Ann 1810 Australia Ann Jackson - Harland married William JACKSON and Thomas HARLAND
* John 1813 Australia John Byrnes married Eliza ABLETT
* Esther 1815 Australia Esther Wilkinson married John WILKINSON
* Catherine Sophia 1819 Australia Catherine Sophie Harris married William HARRIS
* Samuel 1826 Australia Samuel Byrnes married Elizabeth GORMAN, Eliza Ann LEWIS and Ellen NICHOLLS

There is no evidence that Ann married Thomas DEWHURST in England. Thomas Dewhurst

I have disconnected Thomas DEWHURST from Ann REFFIN

Esther Wilkinson
Esther BYRNES
* born 1/6/1815 Australia - daughter of David BYRNES and Ann REFFIN David Byrnes, Convict "Friendship" 1800 and Ann (Reffin - Griffin) Byrnes [Convict "Experiment" 1804]
* died 12/7/1896 Australia
* married John WILKINSON John Wilkinson on 20/8/1832 in Australia and had children
* 1833 John John Wilkinson, 3rd married Maria FORD
* 1835 Sarah Sarah Dunbar married Joseph DUNBAR
* 1837 Emma Emma Jane Eliza McCooey, twin married McCOOEY
* 1840 Henry Henry Wilkinson married Sidney HAMILTON
* 1842 Alfred Alfred Frederick Wilkinson married Harriet BYRNES (first cousin) and Frances MANSFIELD nee DYSON
* 1844 David David Wilkinson married Sarah BYRNES (first cousin)
* 1846 Catherine Sophia Catherine Sophia Ford married Thomas FORD
* 1848 William William Wilkinson married Mary Jane QUINN
* 1850 Major Thomas Major Thomas Wilkinson married Emily PRICE
* 1853 Jemima Jemima Harland - Fraser married Thomas HARLAND and William James FRASER
* 1855 Eliza Ann Eliza Ann / Jane Irwin married Thomas Michael IRWIN
* 1857 James James Wilkinson married Fanny WRIGHT
* 1859 Samuel Samuel Wilkinson married Sarah Ann WRIGHT

I think the problem may have begun with the change on this profile Robert Henry WIlkinson, Free Settler 1875

who was since 2015 - Alfred WILKINSON born 1842 Rylstone died 1910 (son of John WILKINSON and Esther BYRNES)

and was changed on 1/1/2019 to Robert Henry WILKINSON born January 1852 and died 13/2/1939 who arrived in Australia in 1875

As he is solely managed by you, I have left him as Robert Henry WILKINSON born 1852 and have detached him from Albert's parents.
