lol Allan!

I've looked at Vera Walkers b in Cheshire and Lancashire on the 1911 census. All of them are listed as daughter but none of them have a Robert Walker in the same house and they are not with Zipporah. So that's not helpful as it suggests all the Vras I have found are with different, unconnected parents.

That might mean its the wrong Martha then as her dad's parents were John and Mary Walker. *sulks*

So, remind me. Who and what and where

are we looking for in 1911?

Unless I've gone wrong somewhere - as I can't find a separate Martha in 1901.

Allan do you know which registration district your Martha was registered in for birth? If this isn't her in 1911 then there should be two birth regs, but I'm not sure which district Broadbottom is in.

In 1901 Allan's Martha says aged 7 b Broadbottom. Her parents are Robert (who vanishes but may have died) and Zipporah who is aliasing as Mrs McNamara in 1911 as she is getting married in two weeks! Martha isn't with them.

Allan, do you know who Vera Walker married?

Oh b*****, the school is closing because we have 1mm of snow

I was just getting in to this! lol

Marg, Stop, Stop!! Sorry, Sorry!!

I did get it wrong and James and Jane Walker are the parents of Robert the barber.

I've just looked up Broadbottom on Google maps and it's Hyde.

There is a registration district Hyde
