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

So is that the right 1911 then? Jane is the grandmother.

Yes! (sorry!)

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.

There is a registration district Hyde

There are no Martha Walkers born in Hyde district at the right time anyway

If Allan thinks there should be more Walker children (James and Vera) born after 1901 and before Zipporah and Robert split (or whatever happened), then I was thinking if we knew Vera's married name/husband's full name, and/or any of her childrens names etc (don't post if still living Allan!) then we might be able to tie up her death to her birth and find her that way?

*hopes Vera didn't marry a Smith though *

I don't think this family trusted registrars! The 1912 dau doesn't seem to be registered either (Margaret McNamara mmn Williamson)

at my dads funeral 3 years ago there was a G***** Johnson who was a cousin...don`t know how they fit in either.....allan
BTW Robert Walkers mum was Jane Allcock b1835 who married James Walker b 1832....that`s who Martha was with in the census and also I am trying very hard to help but cos I`m on a dongle it`s taking forever just to change a page on freebmd and sometimes no response at all....apologies to all....allan

Allan

Do you want the 1911 census image? It may take you an age to open it on a dongle though.

[garstonite]

Yes please Marg....if it`s not to much trouble....cheers...allan
