Walter Barker - who is his wife?

[dog rose]

I have come to a full stop on finding any information regarding Walter Barker and his family.  I know he had a daughter Joyce who was 17 when she married James Lewis in Chesterfield in 1934.  Her address was 14 Church Lane, Hackenthorpe, Beighton and the occupation of her father was Coal Miner.  One of the witnesses at the wedding was A. Barker but I do not know who this is.  I have been trying to find Joyce's birth and a marriage for Walter but nothing seems to tie up.  Any chance someone can help me?

What about this birth?

There is a birth of a Joyce Barker in Q3 1917 in Chesterfield, MMN Cooper, but then I can't find timely marriage for a Walter Barker to a Ms Cooper.

Perhaps you could get someone to do you an electoral roll look-up for, say 1930-1934 for the address you quote in Beighton to see who was living there then.  Joyce, being only 17, wouldn't show up of course, but it might give you somewhere to start.

I cant either. There appear to be only 3 Walter Barkers where there is a possible marriage to a Cooper between 1890 and 1919, none in Derbyshire.


1896 Wakefield possible Evelina Cooper
1899 Hartlepool possible Annie Cooper
1905 West Ham possible Emma Matilda Cooper

There are a few more possible births to the Chesterfield couple, did Joyce have any siblings?

Hi all, I would go with the Evelina Cooper marriage!
