WALKER Benjamin born abt 1807 Newcastle upon Tyne

[racheljoyce]

Gosh over 5 years ago when I asked that question - had to try to remind myself,
I researched this family for a friend whose gt grandfather was Benjamin in question.
The Joseph (1781-1854) was his father who married Hannah Earnshaw.
I see I have a William Walker marriage to a Hannah Done in 1771 in Leigh Staffs.
I do have Mira and Charles too as their children.

I am sorry not to be more helpful as it hasn't been on my mind for over 5 years now.
I have researched so many trees for friends!

Thanks for this. Joseph was my 3rd-great-grandfather, so I'd be interested in the work you did on Benjamin for your friend. Are you willing to share it - and, if so, how do we correspond privately so as not to tie up this RootsChat thread? Apologies for not knowing the protocol.

If your friend has used 23andMe, AncestryDNA or a similar service, that would be interesting, as we might (just possibly) be matched, though our MRCA was a long time ago.

I really have nothing more to add to Benjamin and the family.

My friend wouldn't have used any of the services you suggest. I did this research for her as a gift from her husband and not because she was pursuing her ancestry.

I used to research a great deal but my interests have changed lately.

All the best with your family research
