William Martin Wilkinson<br />(1814-1897): Swedenborgian, spiritualist and charity campaigner<br /> Family<br />According to Wilkinson (1911, p. 1), William was the second oldest of eight children born to his parents, John James and Harriet Wilkinson. His father came ultimately of Danish stock and descended from a professional family, whose arms (originally granted to one Lawrence Wilkinson in 1615) still figure in the Town Hall of the City of Durham. John James Wilkinson was a ‘special pleader ’1, and in that capacity numbered at one time five Judges among his former pupils; he was also for many years himself Judge of the Palatine County Court in his native city, holding his jurisdiction from the Prince Bishops of that day. Mrs. Wilkinson (née Robinson), originally from Sunderland, had among her ancestors the Penn family, from whom came the founder of Pennsylvania.<br />William was most likely born in Acton Street, off Gray’s Inn Lane, London, where his older brother,<br />John James Garth Wilkinson, had been born in 1812. His parents later moved from Acton Street to a better house in the New Road, No. 8 Seymour Place, opposite to where New St Pancras Church now stands, but which at that time was a region of nursery gardens, extending nearly from Battle Bridge (now King’s Cross) to Tottenham Court Road<br />William Martin Wilkinson (1814–1897) was a solicitor practising, like Dickens’s sinister Tulkinghorn in Bleak House (1852–1853), from an address in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. He threw himself into the [Swedenborg] Society’s affairs with<br />enthusiasm and efficiency and held the office of Secretary from 1842 to 1860.
