Hugh,              David,            Jim

September 2004 offered an opportunity for a small scale Wilkinson family party.
Jim was travelling to a meeting in Chicago and managed to arrange to stop off in Toronto and spend a day with David and Piat Allison. Hugh Wilkinson joined the party for a few hours - though Sue was unwell and could not come.

David Forbes Allison (b 1943) is the son of Marion Forbes Wilkinson (b 1913). His maternal grandfather was Richard Henry Wilkinson (1874 – 1941), who was a son of Frederick Wilkinson (1828 – 1877), and grandson of Charles Wilkinson, of the furniture making dynasty.

(William) Hugh Wilkinson (b 1942) is the son of Reginald Wilkinson (1900 – 1962) and grandson of William Thomas Wilkinson (1864 – 1952 ) who was also a son of Frederick Wilkinson (1828 – 1877). Hugh is a second cousin to David Allison.

A most enjoyable evening was had and a number of family photographs were reviewed.
