Hello dave,

This is the only Amelia WALKER I can find anywhere near the right age and a widow, but I don't think it's the right one.

Hello dave,

I'm very interested to see if it might have Amelia as born in Wiltshire in 1851 or 1861. If so, then I probably have the right baptism and the right parents for her.

Dave

Hello dave,

Joshua is a grocer in 1856 in Victoria.

Hello dave,

WALKER, Joshua Unmarried M 22 1829 Grocer's Assistant Farringdon Middlesex

Well, well, well. :2fun:

Joshua is already in Victoria but please see if you can find the remains of the WALKER family in 1861. Thanks.

Regards,

Dave

Hello dave,

I was speaking on the phone today with one of the WALKER descendants aged 90 who lives in Queensland. She didn't know Joshua was a grocer in his early years. I promised to send her a copy of the tree when it's done. She is sending me some old family photos. I don't have a scanner so I'll have to arrange something. We have not seen each other for over 50 years.

Regards,

Dave

Hello dave,

I've found another married HIRST daughter in Victoria.

The marriage is well after the birth of Eliza Jane.

Please see if you can find them in 1861. Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry dave - seems the children were born in London.

No doubt about her death:

Hello dave,

Age at death and age in shipping records and names at death and names in shipping records don't match. I have Arthur or James and I have 1845 or 1849 for the birth of Eliza. I think I have 2 of them in Islington and possibly one in Bethnal Green. I hope I'm not throwing you off.

Regards,

Dave

Hello dave,

Thank you very much. So, it's James Arthur or Arthur James. And here is Lucy V.

Births Mar 1861
MILLS Lucy Victoria Islington 1b 294

Very handy having Rebecca there.

Regards,

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello dave,

Please see if you can sort these two couples out. I've looked for births and deaths but no luck deciding with one is which.

Marriages Mar 1852
Adams William Halifax 9a 420
Chappell Ann Elizabeth Halifax 9a 420
Hirst Mary Ann Halifax 9a 420
Uttley Abraham Halifax 9a 420

Thanks.

Dave

 

[davelambert271]

Hi dave
Nothing definite I'm afraid - I favour Mary Ann Uttley, but its only a hunch..
dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello dave,

Thanks. I tend to agree with you but I will consider another approach. Possibly someone can check newspaper for either marriage notice.

Regards,

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello dave,

An alternative marriage for Mary Ann and one does lead to Victoria.

Marriages Mar 1848
Dodson George Halifax 22 140
Hirst Mary Ann Halifax 22 140

Could be them arriving..?

If it's my Mary Ann then age at death is a bit out. Pity the reg has nothing for her parents.

Please see if they can be found in 1851. Thanks.
