________________

Not found in 1901 census, odd.

In 1911 she was with her parents and sisters Eva and May (Kathleen May) in Teignmouth, Devon.

Might one of these be her marriage?

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol  Page
Marriages Sep 1911   (>99%)
Browne Mary E Newton Abbot 5b 264
Martin Margaret E    Newton A 5b 264
Templeman Thomas J W    Newton A. 5b 264
Wilkinson Reginald H W Newton A. 5b 264

(If they had been married in the following quarter, we would know who was married to whom.  The only information available until 2021 (for the 1921 census) is the 1939 register.  Or we buy both marriage certificates, indicating the fathers.)

Not found as Templeman or Wlkinson in 1939 register in the west country.

No children to Templeman and Martin from 1911 to 1930.

But any or all of these could be her and Reginald Wilkinson’s children:

Surname   First name(s)   Mother   District   Vol  Page
Births Sep 1912   (>99%)
Wilkinson Mary M Martin Newton A. 5b 149
Births Jun 1914   (>99%)
WILKINSON Reginald D Martin Newton A 5b 157
Births Mar 1917   (>99%)
Wilkinson Diana Martin Exeter 5b 83

It certainly looks as if she married a local boy.  But the 1901 and 1911 censuses show he was Reginald Hampton Whiteman Wilkinson, born in Islington, Mx in 1882/3 and in 1911 a clay merchant in Newton Abbot.

This marriage is confirmed particularly by the CWGC details for the memorial of their son Reginald Denis where he is explicitly said to be the son of Reginald Hampton Whiteway-Wilkinson and Margaret Emily Whiteway-Wilkinson, of Newton Abbot, Devon.
