(The house in Westwood Road was demolished about 12 years ago.) John was the son of James Wilkie, who owned a shipping line on the Isle of Bute, and his wife Susannah McKinlay. James and Mary had a number of children including James Bowyer Wilkie (born 1867, Langley, near Southampton, married Mabel Kendall), Thomas McKinlay Wilkie (born 1869, Langley), Marguerite Wilkie, (born 1869, Langley, married R Cox), Allan Wilkie (born 1873, Liverpool, married F Hunter Watts) and Esther Isabel Wilkie (born 1875, Liverpool, married Henry Bennett, moved to Tarrant Gunville, Dorset). As the family was in the shipping business, it explains their move to Southampton and temporary residence in Liverpool.
