thanks again for the time spent, would I be pushing my look to ask if a copy of a baptism in Liverpool could be obtained?
 This is for Isabella Kennedy Walker, the young girl in the photo I sent sitting on James Walker's knee, she was born in Liverpool around December 1880 3 in 3 Court Lad Lane. Mother was Wilhelmina Agnes Walker.

thanks

Thanks also for the directory information, these are very useful I've found other lines of my family in them, I could spend hours searching through them!

Thanks for the information on Francis Brocklebank. Index's from 1861 show that a William Brocklebank Walker is living in Kellet House (Whicham) I'm wondering if this is the Eldest son of Francis (nee Brocklebank) & William Walker, who would then be elder brother to my gr gr gr grandfather Thomas Walker.

thanks

Hello red

i managed to find death certs for them both, this solved an old family rumour that he died young and his wife Wilhelmina died of a broken heart, this sort of is true because she died the following year with cancer, probably brought on with the stress and shock etc of loosing my gr gr grandfather at such a young age. If you could obtain any other info like inquest material , coroners report or news paper entries a would be very grateful.

Thanks again

Hello red

He died in the Liverpool Infirmary 6th June 1892, home address at the time was 80a Boundary Lane, west Derby, Liverpool.
he actually married near where I live in Cumbria, this was Egremont at St Mary & St Michael's Church November 4th 1877.
I have him in the 1891 census at the above address, not sure if this area exists now?, or the address before that in 1881 was 3 in 3 Court Lad Lane. his occupation is engineer, (Engine Fitter), again I'd like to find out, but i don't know what field of engineering he was in

thanks again

Cheers, that would be great, I would like to get there some time, but don't see it happening in the near future. A photograph of My great great  grandfather James Walker is what set me off researching my family tree so finding his grave at last (i Hope) will add to my research. My understanding is that he was given an overdose of Chloroform durng a simple operation and never retained consciousness. Aged only 33, his wife died the following year she was Wilhelmina Agnes Walker, i hope shes around there too

much appreciated

I have some information for you:
Is there a kind soul out there who could visit this cemetery and send me a digital photograph of the grave.

James Walker, buried in West Derby Cemetery, 10th June 1892, aged 33, engine fitter.

Burial number 6280,
Mode of burial: purchase (don't know what that means)
Section 8, grave 200, Church of England section
Ceremony performed by Rev. J.C. Onions (believe it or not!)

I live to far away from Liverpool, and really would appreciate the picture to continue with family tree. Also looking for his late wife Wilhelmina Agnes Walker (nee Grant) not sure if she is in the same grave.

much appreciate

Can any one help with information on the Walker family, my ancestor is Thomas Walker 1841, census shows him living at Sylecroft with parents, father is William Walker, mother is Franny Walker (nee Brocklebank) also present in the house hold is grandparent William Brocklebank.
I am looking for other brothers / sisters to Thomas, who having married Ann Atkinson eventually moved up to Picket Howe Farm outside of Egremont and then into Golden Lion Whitehaven. Does any one have any info on Kellet House in Whicham, i think one of his brothers adopted this small mansion.

Any information further back on the Brocklebank side would be welcome

Thanks
