Title: James Goldie Walker
Post by: Lorretta on Thursday 09 July 09 07:54 BST (UK)
My great grandmother was Nellie Maria Walker (b1885 Plumstead), she married Charles Kemp in 1910.  On her marriage cert. her father is named as James Goldie Walker.   

I can't seem to pinpoint James GOLDIE Walker, surely his name is not that common  ???  Any ideas?

Thank you in advance x  ;D

I think Elizabeth's occupation is "Kept by son".
