Carol,
I take my hat off to you for finding the 1851 census. WELL DONE!

Don't let your head get cold Irret 

I did it by chosing a 4 year old Mary with a mum called Mary.....and low and behold there was one called Durdell (Well nearly right Ancestry!!!)

They are just round the corner from where the kids were born(Sue sent me both their birth certs)

So even though we disagree over dads job(bumboat or beer seller)I still think it's more than likely them 

Carol

PS If only our ancestors were contactable to ask why they didn't marry till after having had many kids- wouldn't that make this hobby easy?

Carol,
I have one marriage after their first two children were born and another eight years after their three children were born. I go to bed wishing they would come to me in my sleep and give me all the anwsers., and I still can't find William Walker born 1844 Glasgow in 1871 in England or Scotland widowed and it is driving me crazzzzzzzzzzy.

Iv'e had another look at the 1851 disc............

And I think it is Licenced beer an food man

the father is ABEL

the son is ABOTT

although they look the same......their is definitely two diagonal lines at the end of the son's name.................

And the next address to them going down the page is...........2 CRANBROOK STREET

mind you if I was looking at it for the first time and was asked what the names were not knowing anything about the family..............would I have a clue

irret.................tell us more about Willy Walker
