Albert Edward Walker b. 1887 Walsall, parents Eliza and William

[KableWalker]

 
Albert Edward Walker was baptised 25 Aug 1887 at St. Pauls, Walsall, Staffordshire. I can find him in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 Censuses but have no idea what happened to him after that. His brother William Walker b. 1870 Walsall married Gertrude Lawrence in 1896 and headed to New Zealand in 1905/06 with their children (including my father Edward Alfred Walker b. 1902 Walsall). Albert does not appear to have followed and was a Pottery Packer at the 1911 Census.
Does anyone local know what happened to Albert? His name is too common for me to order all the possible Death Certificates and I have no clue if he married, went to war or emigrated elsewhere.
Relatives surnames are Douglas, Dickins/Dickens, Lawrence, Butler, Done, Dolman, Peach.
Thank you in advance. Any information would be welcome.

You did well to find him in 1911, I was unable to.

I did come across this:

I have found Albert Edward Walker and his descendants at last!

He went to New Zealand after he finished school, and quite separately from the rest of the family who sailed in 1906. I found him via DNA Matches with three brothers with surname Walker who were born in New Zealand. They turned out to be Albert Edward's great grandsons and no one else in the Walker family knew about them. Albert (known as Bertie), married Prudence Neville and had two children Edward and Phyllis. He had settled in Auckland, the opposite end of New Zealand's North Island to Wellington where the rest settled and had families.
