Hi Margaret,
When the daughter, Kate ATKINS / WILKINSON died, her father is shown as Henry ATKINS. I wonder whether, Richard Henry ATKINS, was sometimes known as, Henry ATKINS?
I think he (R. H. ATKINS) was still alive in 1886, when Kate married, George WILKINSON. It is clear that George's father was deceased at that time.
The Argus, 17 May 1886:
Marriages
WILKINSON—ATKINS.—On the 6th inst., at St. Mary's
Church, St. Kilda, by the Very Rev. Dr. Corbett, V. F. A., George J. Wilkinson, youngest son of the late William A. Wilkinson, of St. Kilda, to Kate, daughter of Richard Atkins, late of Sandhurst. No cards.
What about this death in 1888?
Name: Henry Atkins
Birth: abt 1813
Death: 1888 - Victoria
