Janet, thanks for looking

There is a death in 1906 for a Walter John Walker who died in Hackney aged 39 in the march qrtr. It seems to be the only one between 1901 and 1920 showing on free bmd that is in the approx location and age.

hi jonesey, thanks for all your help this is all very strange all appear on 1901 census nothing for any of them on the 1891 & 1911 census, im so fed up about this as it looks like i will have to give up on this side of my family, which is a great shame as Elizabeth (my nan) was really close to me as i did'nt really know my other grandparents. Thanks to all who have helped try and solve this mystery

My grandmothers older half sister married 3 times and on each cert put her father as Herbert but her birth cert says Harold

Madmeg/ozibird, thanks fortaking an interest here is everything i know - details are from the original certs (not copies)

nan's birth: elizabeth ann walker born 21st june 1896 in west ham mother ada walker (nee Horsted) father walter walker
nan's marriage cert: married richard henry ferris 22nd feb 1920 in west ham her father is listed as jamesalbert walker (deceased) fishmonger, my grandad's father is listed as william james ferris - labourer

I have found my nan on the 1901 census living with Ada (her mum), walter (dad) and a sister Ada.

Any help would be much appreciated

Have you found your nan on any census?

Ozi

Oh Blimey. A different father on the birth than on the marriage.

I suspect a mistake somewhere.

So, Christie, you have your nan's marriage certificate, 1920, married to who? And her father is James Albert Walker (deceased) fishmonger. Who is the groom and what are his details. Where?

Your nan (can you give us her name please?), was born 1896, with a father Walter Walker. Where?

Not right is it?

Please give us the info, and let us try to help.

Margaret

hi jonesey, my dad said she did, but i can't find him. trouble is the father on my nans birth cert in 1896 is walter walker but on her marriage cert of 1920 its down as james albert walker (deceased) fishmonger, so i thought i would try and find him that way

glitter baby, how do you do this search?

No results for James Walker with occupation of fishmonger on 1901 National Archives.

Think you are going to have a job finding this person without some idea of his year of birth etc.

hi glitter baby, im searching for the man who is supposed to be my nans dad, on her marriage cert of 1920IN WEST HAM has her father as JAMES ALBERT WALKER (DECEASED) - FISHMONGER

Yes

1901 on National Archives and Findmypast

1891 on Findmypast

But on Findmypast you must include another search field

1881 which is free to search


Scottish census 1841 - 1901 on Ancestry



Might be easier to put who you are looking for

hi all, is it possible to search census's by occupation?
