Help required with Charles Alfred Walker Born 3/3/1873 Gifford St? Islington West Middlesex.
Mother Emma Walker Ladies Crineline Maker
Father - NOT NAMED
I am happy with the info I have as to Charles later life but am finding it hard to establish more info on Emma.
Death Cert shows Emma died at 29 (19/3/1879) A Bridle Stitcher in Walsall.
Did she give Charles away maybe??
Ive ordered a birth cert: Emma Walker 10/6/1850 which fits, Born Walsall to Emma Hammersley & William Walker Cabinet Lockmaker but how can I be sure that this is the for the correct Emma??
I can also see a Emma Walker in a Workhouse in the 1861 census age 11 but she seems alone, is it possible to get any further information on this from anywhere to establish if she is the right Emma and why she might be there??
Hope someone can help me :-)

A big difference between a Bridle stitcher and a Crineline Maker I would think
(unless that should be Bridal )

Hi Mike, I saw that census showing a Charles with a David & Jane and that could be a possibility, I'm not sure though as that said he was born in Kennington and I'm not sure that's near Islington?

My tree is on Ancestry, more up to date than on here.. it's lianne 526 and I've posted the certificates I have... I've really lost my way a bit.

Defo Charles Affred Walker as you can see on certificate.
Charles marries Elizabeth Ann Lambourne in Fulham so it seems Charles stays south and it looks like his Mother Emma goes to Walsall (if that is her
:-S)

Hi Sylvia
This is what I have, I have so far assumed Born 10/6/1850 Walsall,
Workhouse at 11 on 1861 census
Servant in London (Tobaco something assist.?) on 1871 census
Gets pregnant, has Charles in 1873
Leaves Charles in London??
Goes home to Walsall
Dies in 19/3/1879 Walsall Newhall Street
I'm just not 100%

Mike if Charles at age 7 is living with Uncle and he's father is not known, then David Waller or I think that must be Walker would be Emma's Brother. If so how could I confirm this?

patchem Report 8 Jan 2014 22:54

The David Waller in the 1881 census was born in East Horley (?), Surrey, whilst Emma was born in Walsall.....
They could be siblings - try and find them together on a census.
But I think his surname really is Waller.

Added:
Could be this marriage as Waller
Marriages Sep 1860
Farnfield James Guildford 2a 59
Humphrey Ann Guildford 2a 59
Humphrey Anne Guildford 2a 59
xxxxLANSDELL Jane Guildford 2a 59
xxxWaller David Guildford 2a 59

So a different family...

Where was he on the 1891 census?

Thanks

Added:
Does it specify she was 29 at death because if born 10/6/1850 and dies 19/3/1879 she would only be 28. Are you sure it is the same person?

Hi
Thanks you so much for all the pointers, I'm slowly going over everything...
I do not have Constance Mabel Walker's Birth Certificate but the above into is what I have listed in the tree on Ancestry.

I have looked at some info that a relative gave me and she that Charles (Emma's Son) was living as a lodger with a family in the 1881 census as Emma had died.

She also said she saw her working in a shop is Islington on the 1871 census

This does look likely to be him as I've checked his marriage cert and his profession is noted as Stationway Engine Driver (I think) in 1916 - 25 years later than above, so this looks connected.... do you think??
