Neil I don't know if you've seen this or want the information for the site re dating when David Wilkinson was part of MW.

 I came across it accidentally.  It appears that in April 1849 (20th April?) David Wilkinson along with Thomas Molineaux and Thomas Webb were petitioners in a bankruptcy case against a Samuel Seal of Little Queen-street Holborn, a china, glass and earthenware dealer:

Yes thanks I have seen that before. I did a trawl of all the online newspapers, gazettes and google books etc and am sitting on a pile of clippings found over the years. I should mention I'm looking to write a book on Manchester glass with the help of a few fellow collectors. It is a few years away especially under current conditions. I haven't really updated my website much since 2015 and late next year, google is going to retire the old style google sites, at which point I may retire my website, unless converting to shiny new google sites is an easy piece of work.

Yikes, that would be a huge loss if you did.

I have no idea about tech stuff (currently using a 10 year old laptop and dithering about replacing it and still use what was known as a camera ... just a camera that takes photos, no other things available on it like ability to photoshop or make phone calls  ) otherwise I'd offer to help.
