Any help with Minar 1854

Steve beat me to it while i was editing my post!

Still no sign of Patrick though. Maybe he was actually a cousin?

Ok, rereading your post again, i'm confused. Whose brother is Patrick? John F  or his father? If it is his father then there is a possible Walker family in Chapel of Garioch in the 1820s that could fit, Parents John Walker and Ann(e) Barron.

Hi both

1861 the family were at Burnside, Inverurie.
All born Inverurie, except for Margaret, who was born Keithhall, Aberdeenshire.

John Walker, 33, Head, Joiner Master.
Margt Walker, 35, Wife.
John Walker, 6, son, scholar
Agnes Walker, 5, daughter, scholar
Isabella Walker, 1, daughter.

No Mary Hellen, so looks like she either did not survive or may be with grandparents. Will check for her.

Cheers

Ellen.

1871, family still at Burnside, Inverurie.  Mary H is now with them, so I'll go back and check again for her with grandparents (there was not an obvious one on 1861).
Young John is not with them, so will check for him separately.

Again, all born Inverurie, except for Margaret born Keithhall.

John Walker, 43, Head, Carpenter
Margaret, 45, wife
Mary H, 12  (all children are scholars, even the 1 yr old!)
Isabella, 11
George, 9
Charles, 8
Margaret S, 3
Henry G, 2
Andrew, 1.

Cheers

Ellen.

Added later:  Hmmm, no obvious sign of John at first look. Will persevere!

Hi Christine,

I'm new to this and I don't know what has been found out up to now. John Franklin Walker was my Great Grandfather and I'm told he was born on May 8th 1854 in Inverurie to John & Margaret Walker. I have info. on his life when he married but little before that. Would be great to know anything you have found out as I will be visiting Inverurie in August.

Thanks,
Bob.

Hello Bob,

Sorry I am so late replying!

All of John Franklin Walker's children were born in Portugal. I am descended from his second son Robert.

Nice to meet you!
