World War Two / Re: northumberland fusiliers
« on: Wednesday 05 August 09 12:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I've seen some photos of his medals

He had the Burma star, the 1939-1945 star, the second world war medal?, the defence medal, and the dunkirk medal.

He has other children who are still alive (with whom I have no contact) so I wouldn't be next of kin

I'll keep looking though!

cheers

World War Two / northumberland fusiliers
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 21:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello guys,

I wonder if anyone would be able to help me as I am ashamed to say I know very little about - a. my grandad and b. the second world war.
However I am trying to solve both of these problems.

I have found that my grandad was John Thomas Walker no. 4263951 and was born december 1906.
He served in the army as a corporal during WW2 in the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers.
I also know he served in Burma.

I wonder if anyone would be able to help me find out any more details, eg: what section of the regiment he served in and where else he went?
 
He died when I was very young and unfortunately so has my dad (who would have been his next of kin) so am unable to ask anyone in the family! so any help would be appreciated.
 
Cheers
Jacqueline

Hello Patrish,

I was just thinking, does that mean that Frances Carlise is age 27 in 1861
but her husband is 67? Thats a huge age gap, isn't it?

Or have I gotten the wrong end of the stick?

cheers
Jacqueline

Wow!   Thanks sooo much ladies,

That's fantastic I really appreciate your help. I never would have been able to find that info. I'd found William's mam Francis the washerwoman, but had no idea where to start looking for his father.

A shoelace hawker? Not exactly royalty, eh? ;D

thanks again
Jacqueline

OOh thats very strange!

Yes they ALL fit in with the 1911 census.

The weird thing is the address

in 1891 they are at Inkerman Cottages, and they're still there in 1911


cheers Jacqueline

Hello,

Joseph, John George, Walter and Eva are all on the 1911 census, they're still living at Inkerman.

The 1911 census also states that Dorothy gave birth to 14 live children and that 11 were still alive. I've found 12 children on the various census results and I know that Edward died in 1903, but I'm having trouble finding the names of the last 2 children.

cheers
Jacqueline
