Notes on the Wilkinson Family of Limerick City and County by Noel Murphy

Notes on the Wilkinson family of Limerick City and County by Noel Murphy. Dr Thomas Arthur’s Fee Book. 1624. This Fee Book records that a Mrs Wilkinson of Limerick paid Doctor Arthur for the treatment of her friend in 1624.

The Civil Survey of County Limerick. 1654/6. Page xlv tells us that “Captn Robertt Willkinson” was one of the Jurors of Inquisition for the City of Limerick. (City and Liberties). See page 399 and turn to page 457 where his name is given, more correctly, as Captn Robert Wilkinson. Note: ‐ Jurors of Inquisition were appointed from the ranks of old inhabitants who were acquainted with the lands and boundaries of their neighbourhood. This suggests that the Wilkinson family were present in Limerick City before the Cromwellian period.

On page 510 Captain Robert Wilkinson is Indexed for Internal pages 2 and 12. The page 2 referred to is to be found in the main book at page 400 and tells us that Captain Robert Wilkinson was now occupying a Stone House on the High Street in St John’s Parish, valued at £15. (High St. in St. John’s Parish is today, Broad St. plus John’s St.). Page 12 refers only to an adjoining property to Wilkinson’s house held by a different person.

God’s other Children: Protestant nonconformists etc. etc. Some Quakers meeting at the house of Captain Robert Wilkinson were all arrested by Henry Ingoldsby, Governor of Limerick in 1656.

A History of the rise and progress of the people called Quakers in Ireland. 1653 – 1700. Printed 1751. The account states that Capt. Robert Wilkinson was a Preacher in Limerick but not a Quaker and some newly arrived Quakers went to hear him. One of them disagreed with what he was saying and in a strong voice said “Serpent be silent”. That seemed to end Robert’s preaching days and the book notes that at the end of his days he became foolish.

Registry of Deeds Index Project Nick Reddan Memorial 5875 Dated 01/11/1714 It would appear that the lands of Madibye (Maddyboy) had been granted to a Robert Wilkinson, now deceased, by Letters Patent. These lands were now being transferred to Robert’s son Thomas Wilkinson senior of Caheroly (Cahirelly) who had a son and heir, Thomas Wilkinson junior.

Living in Limerick, 1715. Robert Wilkinson, Sheriff of Limerick City in 1701 was still alive in 1715. See below. He was still alive in 1745 but was dead by 1754 when his widow was collecting his pension.

Registry of Deeds Index Project. Nick Reddan Memorial 62287 Dated 23/07/1737 This Records the lease by George Wilkinson of Limerick City and his wife Margaret Twigg, the daughter of Alderman Robert Twigg of property in Limerick to a third party.

The Hoare Estate maps of Limerick City, 1747. Map No 20 shows 2 houses fronting on to High St. and directly opposite Castle St. with 2 more houses behind fronting on to Flag Lane. These 4 houses were leased to Robert Twigg in 1700 and then in 1724, after Robert Twigg died, they were leased by Elizabeth Hoare to Twigg’s daughter Margaret. Margaret married George Wilkinson of Limerick City in 1720, Recte 1730, and the lease was renewed to the widow Margaret Wilkinson in 1747. (This may be the Margaret who died in 1775. See under 1775 below. Burke claims that Alderman Twigg died in 1727 and that Margaret was born in 1693 and married George Wilkinson of Ballyvalley, Co. Clare in 1720. Familysearch gives their marriage date as 29/11/1730). George Wilkinson and his wife leased lands of the deceased Robert Twigg to Joseph Sexton on the 23/07/1737. (A John Wilkinson of Ballyvalley was a witness to a deed on the 08/10/1709).

Familysearch George Wilkinson and his wife Margaret Twigg had the following children baptised in St Mary’s Cathedral. Elizabeth on the 28/10/1731, Robert on the 02/06/1733, Mary on the 09/05/1734 and George on the 21/05/1736.

Limerick Archives. Corporation Account Books. 1744 – 1745. Alderman Robert Wilkinson received £12 from the Corporation covering payment due from 29/09/1744 to 29/09/1745. He received two further payments that year, one for £1‐7‐3 and the second for £2‐6‐7 ½. (Robert Wilkinson was Sheriff of Limerick City in 1701 but never served as Mayor so he must have been elected Alderman for holding some other high ranking office. The Recorder of the City was often elected an Alderman). A James Wilkinson received two payments in this period of £2 each time.

1754 – 1755 A Mrs Wilkinson received two payments of £4. (These were two half‐yearly payments of her Aldermans widow’s pension. She can only be the widow of Alderman Robert Wilkinson).

1755 ‐1756. Mrs Wilkinson received the same payments this year also. A third payment reads Mrs Wilkinson, ‐‐‐‐‐Mrs Barbara Parker………….£2. (I would read this as Mrs Parker receiving 3 months pension, Oct. Nov. and Dec. due on the death of Mrs Wilkinson in December 1756, Mrs Barbara Parker being a next of Kin to Mrs Wilkinson). (See “Merry Widows of Limerick City, 1777 to 1801” in The Old Limerick Journal, Number 44, Winter 2010).
