THOMAS WILKIE was born Abt. 1778/88. He married JANE KENT 06 Jun 1808 in London, England, daughter of ROBERT KENT and MARY. She was born Abt. 1780.

Notes for THOMAS WILKIE:
Thomas was a sergeant in the "Royal Victoria Regiment" and "Royal Newfoundland Regiment" between 1812 and 1826. His occupation was an armourer. In 1844 when daughter Margaret was married, he was a warrant officer in the British army maybe living in Woolwich, Kent, England.

Notes for JANE KENT:

What convinces me that this is the correct Jane is the fact that a grandson (b 1851) was named Charles Kent Wilkie.

Generation No. 3

Ron Foster writes: "The lady standing in the picture is Maria Cummin nee Head. The gentleman seated is Thomas Cummin, Maria's son.
 
The little girl is Winnie Cummin Thomas's daughter.  At the time of the 1901 Census she was age 4, and the in the photograph she is around 4 to 5 years old.
 
The old lady seated on the left is the little girl's great grandmother.  Although I do not have a date of death for her great grandmother Cummin, I believe she died before the 1901 Census as I have been unable to find her in it.  The old lady must therefore be Margaret Head nee Wilkie who was alive until 1910." Thanks to Ron Foster for the photo.
