Strange really - when I looked for the children of James and Jane Walker there were dozens and dozens of Walker entries, but only about a dozen with mmn. Maybe they know these are Allan's relations?

Accrington on Lancashire BMD is another place where the indexers have taken the trouble to add MMN, which is very useful for me as a lot of OH's lot were born in Accrington.

By the way, Allan, could "Hatfield" be "Hadfield", which is very close to Glossop?

I've just realised Allan hasn't mentioned anything about Denis junior.

I haven't looked at this Merry

I'm off to watch Silent Witness, will look later

Hiya Merry / Kiterunner
thanks again for your hard work....I have never heard of cheshbmd putting mmn that early so that was a big bonus...I will now upgrade my tree with the correct birth for James / Martha / and I will do a check for Thomas...
Merry ...What were the names of the 2 missing children and their y.o.b`s.(James and Janes )...thanks...
I am unsure regarding Vera Walker / Veronica Mc Namara...I now know who Veronica Mc married and her 5 children...did Vera Walker exist or is Vera -Veronica Mc Namara...
as for Robert Walker death in 1911 in Prescot reg area....Woolton which adjoins Garston comes under Prescot...so it IS a possibility...but according to the new family member I spoke to today Zipporah didn`t bring Robert ,she also said she has never heard of a Vera Walker..She is the grandaughter of Denis Mc Namara and neice of Denis jnr so I will get info on those 2 and Margaret when I see her...
....Hatfield / Hadfield ?with our scouse accents I could well of misheard exactly what M****** said...
..
so ...the 2 childrens names to add and I have had an absolutely brilliant 2 days....and I am expecting more info in a couple of weeks time.....it just seems unreal getting all this info so quickly.....thankyou all so much...Marg...thanks for the e-mails and attachments...appreciated.....regards to you all.....allan

The first being Jane's home area and the second being the same district as Robert. Robert and Joseph are on Cheshire BMD too.

Here are the two missing children of James and Jane Walker. I don't think it will be very easy to find out when they each died unless some burials come out of the woodwork. I expect they each died before the following census, unless they were living/staying elsewhere for census night.

Oh dear, I am sorry - I didn't notice that because they are in alphabetical order and I didn't really look at Robert's at all.

1911 census. Denis and Zipporah are living at No6 Queen St, Garston, Liverpool.

It says she has been married 8 years and has had 4 children 2 of which have died.
