found this marriage Leonard Wright - Eileen L Walker 1945 Q3 Birmingham 6d 112

Leonard A Wright - Alice S Walker - hailsham 1944 Q2 2b 220

Did Alice marry more than once? Or is this just a coincidence? Name: Alice Comfort Davis Birth Date: 16 Apr 1925 Death Registration Month/Year: Dec 1991 Age at death (estimated): 66 Registration district: Birmingham Inferred County: Warwickshire Volume: 32 Page: 135 Reg

Marie, I have that certificate, but it looks as if it is the wrong person. Reggie, She may well have married twice, her husband Leonard Walker died in 1979. Alice died (I believe) in Dec 1990 in Solihull. At the moment I can only work to memories by the family and they are very vague.

Only one other 'Alice Comfort' death on Ancestry for the 1984-2004 timespan, and that one is completely 'wrong' Could 'your' Alice have been Welsh? Reg

what was their sons name?? found it Leonard V T Wright (mmn Walker) Birmingham 9c 470 1949 Q1

Marie, They had several children starting with Leonard Vernon Thomas Wright in 1949. I have today received his birth cert. Prior to that we thought her name had been Alice Maud Walker. Reggie, I have just spoken to son-in-law and he has confirmed that she remarried and she was definitely Welsh.

I think I may have her. June Qr 1925 Alice C Walker mmn Coles Pontypridd, 11a 1167 Thanks guys.

Thanks Marie, That is very kind of you. I will apply for her Birth Certificate next. However, it is her daughter's marriage which is causing my headache.

Thanks for your help and pointing me in the right direction. I have now managed to trace that Walker family back to Derbyshire in 1841. The Patriarch was successively a Railway Inspector, Railway Superintendant and Road Surveyor. He travelled all over the Country popping out offspring as he went.
