James Walker- Ireland to Oz
« on: Monday 11 September 06 01:14 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
Looking for confirmation of the parents of James Walker.  IGI lists them as William Walker and Mary Speer.  I have no further info on them. 
James Walker was born/christened Nov 1818 in Templecrone Parish Donegal Ireland.  In 1839 he married Jane Colquohoun, Templecrone.
Any suggestions?

Hi Lilster, I'm a descendant of William Walker & Mary Speers too via their son James & his son James.   I don't know much about William & Mary either other than their sons seemed to have gone to Australia, USA and Canada. 

Love to hear from you & compare notes,   Kel
Ireland - Londonderry (Clark, Ramsay), Galway (Simcocks), Donegal (Walker, Colquohoun), Down (Wright, McCracken, Spence), Monaghan (Little)
England - Durham (Storey), Tipperary (Horan), Cornwall (Bowden, Arthur), Somerset (Simcocks)
Scotland - Angus (Ramsay), Fife (Watson, Laing), Rafford (Crow), Monaghan (Carson)
All these families branches ended up in Australia at some point.
