Walker family - Pwllheli 1860 - 1877

[alstark]

The 1861 birth record in West Derby gives the father's occupation as Labourer, not Mariner / Sailor.

Same as the Baptism record.

Do you have any idea as to where or when he died?

[alstark]

No idea about his death. 

The marriage record of one of his sons in 1915 states father deceased, however the marriage cert of his younger son from 1920 gives no mention of Peter being deceased.

We have concrete evidence in 1901 census when he was living in Dundee with the woman he bigamously married. In 1902 he was convicted and imprisoned, and the marriage annulled.
He obviously did not stay with the woman in Dundee as she married in 1906.

There is nothing to suggest that he returned to his legal wife in Lowestoft, but there is also no record of a divorce. In the 1911 and 1921 census there is no mention of Peter living with my GGM and their children.

A Peter Walker of the correct age appears in the 1911 census at Milford Haven as a lodger - he was a trawl fisherman - as was the head of the household. A Peter Walker also appears in the Milford Haven register of electors in 1915, and again in the 1924 and 1826. Whether this is the same Peter is open to question.  There appear to be no deaths in Wales for Peter Walker of the correct sort of ages between 1911 and 1939!
