I looked at that one but not Linlithgow

patchem

patchem Report 9 Jul 2011 08:34

Could you post the 1841 census with parents and brother?
Could you also say how you got to them - who are you connected to so we can trace backwards to Richard and Elizabeth?
Thanks

I have his father as Thomas and I think Richard was a shoemaker

Sylann,

Do you know if he had children? If so what were their names and years of birth and an area if known?

Think we're all struggling to find him with the info up to now.

Thomas Walker 62
Jean 55
Richard 22 Shoemaker West Lothian
Thomas 21 "" ""

Married 1843 to Elizabeth McAlpin The family I've been trying to track down but yet again after the 1840s they seem to vanish

but nothing after that

patchem Report 9 Jul 2011 08:42

If Richard was 22 in 1841 he was born in 1819?
(But still cannot see him on ancestry)
