William & Brittania Walker, Middlesex, England

Have you found Edward and Frances on each of the later censuses after their marriage?

Sometimes you are very lucky and find an elderly parent or sibling staying with them!

I wonder if there's a clue to anyone on his side of the family in the names he gave his children?

Can anyone find that Elizabeth Godsen (witness) on the 81 census?

Thank you for that Jennifer, very grateful, Someone is researching lol, but mine has been gained the hard way, I think they may be as stuck as I am, still cannot place Edward's parents, as I said there is a Birth for an Edward in West Ham around the same time he would have been born, I can see no other way to getting me beyond Edward and Frances, I have been looking on and off for weeks.

On my Mum's side there are loads of people researching our tree, have been in touch with a few and they all have a definite link, but on this side...nothing, apart from one other person, what a lazy lot, leaving me no Tree Trails lol

Thank you Again, everyone for your help.

So we have Edward and Frances (Fanny) in 1901 and 1911,but nothing for definite before that?
I've been searching for them in 1891 for ages today,but had no luck.
Do you have your grandad's 1887 birth cert,if so what address are the family at then and what does it give for dad's job?

[Ladyhawk]

I wonder if this maybe a possibility for your Edward born c1863 on 1871 census
named as Edwin his father's name is William and his occupation is General Labourer

 will see if I can follow William

Mmm... had no luck finding William pob Dagenham on 1851 census 

I've been searching for them in 1891 for ages today,but had no luck.

I can't find Edward, Fanny, Alfred & Edward Walker either on 1891 census 

Father Edward's pob Canning Town Essex & Bow London  - not making it easy

I'm wondering if this his him on 1881 census

Edward Walker Lodger b1863 London Middx occ Labourer

1881 census https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3LT-PN7I see what you mean pob
