The Walkley brothers

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Trying to find what happened to these 2 brothers (they may not be)

George Walkley b 1858 near Stroud Gloucestershire, married Kate Sophia Crew in 1883. Kate died in 1950 Leicester.

They certainly had 3 children
Ann Elizabeth b 1884
Carry b 1887
William b 1889
All 3 born in Wotton-Under-Edge, Gloucestershire
A 4th child Alfred George b 1892 Leicester. These details I found on the Gro Record site naming the mother's surname.
Sometime the family moved to Leicester between 1880-1911, they are living there in 1911, with the 2 daughters living at home.

Cannot find any definite information on the 2 brothers William and Alfred. Not sure if Alfred is a brother but knowing the family moved to Leicester a strong possibility with the mother's surname Crew.

Any help would be appreciated

Great, just been on FMP and found the death for William age 16, as well as finding the mother and 2 daughters in 1939. But by finding little Alfred/George I had given up on even deleted him from my tree so he can be reinstated.

Thank for your help

TIP

When lookng at 1911, always check the image for number of children born - and living/dead.
