Query 1

She has 2 husbands
* John Wilkinson (1810-1863) son of John Wilkinson [Convict "Royal Admiral" 1800] and Sarah Wilkinson
* John Wilkinson (1810-1863) son of George Wilkinson, Crew "Britannia" 1798 and Sarah Wilkinson - Salmon, Convict "Brittania" 1798

Query 2 - what evidence ties her to either John WILKINSON

There are also issues with George Wilkinson, Crew "Britannia" 1798
George arrived in Australia in 1798 and died in Australia in 1815, yet he has 2 children born in England
* 1816 Martha Wilkinson
* Private

There are also notes on Sarah Wilkinson - Salmon, Convict "Brittania" 1798 that she was living in England in 1851, yet she was in Australia

http://www.the1788-1820pioneerassociation.org.au/George%20Wilkinson...

children of George WILKINSON and Sarah COLEMAN are Robert 1799, Johannah 1801, Mary 1803, Thomas 1806

George was a seaman and at one time an officer with the East India Company, between 1794 and 1798 was Captain of several ships on the England to India run, including Briton in 1794 and Isabella in 1796.

He married an English girl, Mary Ann, in Madras, India; her surname is not known. A son George was born in October 1797, both mother and son died March 1798. George arrived in Port Jackson as a crewmember of Britannia 18 July 1798, for the next 12 years he travelled as a crewmember on ships taking supplies to the Colony. In 1811 George petitioned Governor Macquarie through his captain Andrew Barclay on behalf of himself and the crewmembers of the Indian for permission to settle in the Colony. Permission was granted and the approval stated he was to make himself useful on board one of the government vessels.

NSW Baptism Record - Johannah WILKINSON born 27/3/1801, baptised 29/5/1803 St Johns, Parramatta, father George WILKINSON, mother Sarah

From the records there are 2 families

George WILKINSON who married Sarah COLEMAN
* 21/6/1799 Robert
* 27/3/1801 Johannah
* 4/4/1803 Mary

John WILKINSON who married Sarah
* 5/8/1810 John

I am unable to find any records for
* William J WILKINSON born 1801 - a William WILKINSON son of Frank and Cecilia died in Randwick in 1886. There is a note on William J Wilkinson that he was christened in England on 22/9/1802
* Martha WILKINSON born 1816 in England
* Joseph WILKINSON born England
These children were in England however Sarah COLEMAN was in Australia from 1798 - I will detach them until sources can be provided to connect them to this family

1881 England Census
* John WILKINSON head age 68 born England
* Christina BESFORD adopted daughter age 20 born England
* John POTTS lodger age 18 England

This is NOT the same John WILKINSON as the one born 1810 in Australia as he died in 1863 in Australi - I will detach Christina BESFORD
