Hi I need help please.
I found out my nan had a brother called Arthur walker born about 1920 in Birmingham England he's mother was ada Byfield and father was George Herbert walker they are buried in Brentford Ealing.
He had 5 sisters and one brother.
I believe he married to a Florence A porter April 1938.
According to ancestry 3rd September 1939 apparently he served in Australian military during world war two.
And also 8th of February 1942 Arthur walker fought in World War two during the fall of Singapore.
And apparently 13th November 1945 he left England to San pedra california and that's where I hit a dead end as I can't find when he died so please help me.
Thank you

Arthur E Walker married Florence A Porter in 1938
1939 register indicates that his birth was 1907 so he doesn’t look to be your Arthur.

Are you getting your information from somebody else's tree?
If so - the info about his marriage is incorrect which casts doubt on other info.

Can you post the links to that info please? How did you identify those entries as your Arthur Walker? Do they name his parents etc?
Have you read reply 1 re marriage?
just dont have no info of when arthur walker died
Births June qtr 1920
Walker Arthur Byfield Birmingham 6d 514
Have you checked the 1939 register?
Have you checked whether he died in WW2?
www.cwgc.org
There are at least 3 Arthur Walker deaths which fit a June qtr birth registration plus 3 others who died pre 1969 which was when birthdates appeared on death certs. You would need to establish his exact birthdate to determine if he is one of them
1999 Wolverhampton
1995 Derbyshire
1993 Manchester
1942 Westminster birthyear 1920
1938 Durham ditto
1924 Greenwich ditto
2001 Yorkshire ditto
2008 Cardiff ditto

Hi for the past year I keep coming across Arthur Edward Michael walker and I just don't no if its the same person in my family tree.
But it's next of kin is my great auntie violet walker.
I have also tried contacting someone who lived in the USA as they knew when my great nan ada Byfield and George Herbert walker lived and died info but I had no luck in getting in touch with the trea owner as I just wanted to know when Arthur walker died.

Neither of the 2 records you mention for Arthur is your man!
The Australian army man was an Arthur Edward Michael Walker born 17/12/1921 and the one arriving California was an Arthur T. Walker born 1919 Sept.qtr.
Your Arthur was a plain Arthur birth registered June quarter 1920 - mmn Byfield. So birthday is going to be in the first half of 1920 (probably between March and June).

What was the result of contacting the tree owner from this post of 3 years ago?

You really do need to stop assuming that every Arthur Walker is the one you are looking for.
There's an Arthur T. Walker registered 1919 Birmingham (mother Nixon) who is more likely to be the one travelling to San Pedro, California in 1945-

hi love I'm not assuming I'm just simply searching for the death year of my great uncle. He's mum maiden name was ada Byfield.

You said nothing to nobody..
Nor did you chase it (the names in the myheritage tree) up in the records.
You were pointed to a late 1960s marriage in Durham? Did you buy and eliminate that way?
You've also no idea of which potential Arthur's may be yours until you purchase the birth certificate.
Quit the chase until there is a birth date.

I have not read your other lengthy thread on this family so forgive me if you have already posted this somewhere else.
Where are Arthur Walkers parents and younger siblings in 1939.

His birth reg is easily found on freebmd so why are you wasting time pursuing Arthur Walker's with middle names when it's clear - as Annette has said - he had no middle names?
You cannot just "claim" an entry because his first name is Arthur & his surname is Walker. The details you quote in your opening post have nothing to connect them to your Arthur. Ancestry "hints" are just that - "hints" not necessarily "facts"
If you are so keen to establish his whereabouts - do as has been suggested. Buy a copy of the 1920 birth cert to get his exact birthdate then look for him on the 1939 register & in the death registrations

Sorry, what shows this information
ADDED I see now you are talking about Arthur Edward Michael Walker date of birth 17th December 1921, Birmingham.
Have you seen the document you have linked to or are you just assuming this is your great auntie Violet
-
hi as I explained before it says my great auntie violet walker as next of kin x
The record DOES NOT SAY THAT IT IS YOUR GREAT AUNT VIOLET WALKER (and yes, I mean to shout).
The record (you posted it in reply #6) say the next of kin was a Violet Walker but the record is for a completely different Arthur Walker as rosie99 has also pointed out.
There is an online tree with all this nonsense- not sure if it belongs to you or you are just blindly copying it.

In that case you've messed up the details on Arthur Walker all by yourself. Suggest you go back and follow the advice you've been given over and over again after removing the misinformation to prevent further confusion.

Sorry but it is no use sending pictures as they are far too large to view. It is always better to type out information not copy over things that people cannot view on their ipads / phones.
