Hello Lorraine,
I found the following in SS Philip & Jacob for 1813-1837 Baptisms
John s. of Edward and Elizabeth Walker 16 Nov 1828
Samuel s. Edward and Elizabeth Walker 13 Nov 1836 aged 3 wks.
I don't have marriages I'm afraid. If you google Bristol and Avon FHS they have details of records.
Regards
Escargot

Me again!
I found these on the IGI
Mary Ann Walker chr. 29 July 1838 Bristol, Gloucester
Eliza Walker chr. 16 Aug 1840 SS Philip & Jacob Bristol
Mary Walker chr. 4 Sep 1842 SS Philip & Jacob Bristol
all to Edward and Elizabeth Walker
This might be Edward
Edward Walker chr. 14 Sep 1778 Tewkesbury Gloucester
also to an Edward and Elizabeth
There are Walkers in Pebworth Gloucester too.
(I found all these by putting Edward Walker and Elizabeth as mother and father and looking for children born to same)
Regards Escargot

Sorry, thinking about it, that might be too early for Edward - might be his father? Sorry, not very good with the geography of Gloucestershire either, might be miles from Bristol.

Escargot,thank you very very much i really grateful to you for you time to help out.the names and ages are good at the time of christenings as its states, so I'm think yes it the family, I just got to find a 1851 census now and that make my day,thank you again Lorraine

Dear Lorraine,
I am glad I was able to help you. I can look in the 1851 for you if you tell me how they are listed in 1861 e.g. were they all together or were some of the children working elsewhere. What occupations if any. You mention that Edward is always somewhere else - is he the Redruth one?

Escargot,thank you once again,someone sent me 1861 but no real info on it,as most of the older children have left home, other than this elizabeth walker age 54, abt 1807, wife, female, born bristol,civil parish bristol st philip and st jacob,ecclesiatical parish st jude,county gloucester england,street address lamb st[court]reg district clifton,sub district st philip and jacob,ED institution or vessel 3,household number 161,household member mary walker age 20,i found the father [edward]in [1861 census]redruth cornwall as a boarder abt 1806 address bullers row redruth,pedlar,i also found him in the 1851 census in fore st redruth as a lodger pedlar,i do believe that there was another child that could be with elizabeth in bristol by 1851 census but this might not be right he could be james walker c1845/6 born bristol,in the 1841 census the children are harriet walker age 10,eliza walker age 8 mary ann walker age 3 thomas walker age 7,thank you for you time to help lorraine

Morning Lorraine,
I've been puzzling over your family, but I haven't been able to find much.
There is
Mary Ann 10 yrs, house servant at 7 Butchers Row, parish P&J but b. St.James
Thomas 17 yrs, T----man? couldn't make out this, unmarried, Head, b. Bristol at Braggs Lane parish P&J.
I couldn't find Elizabeth, Harriet, Eliza or James.
All I can suggest is to look at FreeBMD and see if you can find marriages for Harriet and Eliza. I did try to vary the name Walker by using wild cards but nothing seemed to match. That is not to say that they are not on there somewhere! There are much more experienced census searchers on Rootschat that might be able to suggest something else.
Don't give up though. I have been in this situation myself, and someone came to my rescue and I was able to move back a little further, but I am still searching!
Regards Escargot

I posted some information about SS Philip and Jacob on another post (Packhorse Cottages), but I can't cut and paste what I wrote there and I don't see how I can give you the link.
Go to search rootschat above, put Philip and Jacob in the search and Canuc as author an it will come up (5th of September I posted).
Basically, Tewksbury is a fair way north of Bristol. Bristol was the south end of Gloucestershire, Tewksbury is at its northern extremity. If the Tewksbury entry is yours how did he end up in Bristol, Gloucester was a big city by comparison to T'bury what took him further south to Bristol?
Happy hunting

Canuc, thank you for the link i have printed it off so i can look back at this info.also i don't know if Tewksbury entry anything to do with mine yet,as my Edward Walker [c1805]states he from Bristol Gloucester england in the census he been in,i wanted to find the 1851 census hoping his family would still be in st Philip and Jacob parish and hoping they would give me more info there,but up to this minute i not had much luck in locating the 1851 but thank you for your link it was very kind of you to help Lorraine
