What Walkers do you have from Whitwick/Leicestershire.

[Spatts]

  My Walkers.

William Walker abt 1796, Whitwick, married Harriet Brown in Loughborough.
Thomas Walker abt 1808, Whitwick, married Mary Maria Clifford in Lowesby.

Father of above noted as Anthony Walker abt 1758 on William's second marriage.

Does anyone else have Walkers from Whitwick or surrounding area??

Regards,

Did you ever get a certificate to prove who Thomas Walker married?

I have a Joseph Walker, from 1841 census born 1796  Leicestershire living Shepshed died 1844

He married 21 Feb 1820 St Botolphs Shepshed, Rosanna (Hannah) Jones b 1796 Shepshed

Dont know where he came from,  can he be connected to your Walkers?

  Hi Chris,

Not sure if your joseph is related, I'm sure my William & Thomas had other brothers & sisters but, I've not been able to find any info on their father or who their mother was. If your Joseph came from Whitwick, it could be a good possibility.

Hi Diddy,

It would be great if you could find any info on Chris's Joseph or my William & Thomas's family, William got married in Loughborough 11 Dec 1821.

Hi Richard,

As you know, William is my (direct link), the thread is What Walkers do you have from Whitwick/Leicestershire, nothing else, please don't spoil this thread for me. If you check the 1841 & 1851 Censuses, you'll see them living next door to each other, 12 & 13  ST.Benedicts lane, Lincoln. Named children after each other, named children after each others wives & check the Business Directory to see they were running a Earthenware Shop together 1841/51. Both changed their professions, possibly due to someone or two members of the family going to Australia Gold Prospecting & did very well. That is one of two hard tasks ahead of me, to find out who went to Australia & more info on William's parents & grandparents if poss.

Best regards,

Spatts.

Hi Diddy,

Thanks for Joseph Walker burial info, sure this age is more likely correct, although  he was stated as 45 0n 1841 census (Finney hill    Blackbrook area), Ros(Hannah) as 35 so that matches. I have her death in Loughborough 1872, so need to check intermediate census records to confirm birth, not sure how I had 1796 for her originally
Could it be that, back to the original query Joseph was of Whiwick, I wonder?
