Which county is Manchester in? Is it Lancashire?

John Senior had died before the 1871 census as Laura was a widow then and I think Laura had died before the 1881 census. In 1881 census I found-

John Junior is a Grenadier Guard at Windsor Castle
Richard is living with his wife & children in Peebles, Scotland
Emily is a servant in Nottingham

Thank you K, that looks as if it could well be the marriage.

Keith - maybe some babies died?

*makes note to self - check IGI more frequently*

Well done Margaret, but Emily seems like a late baby after a break.

Looks like Laura could've been the Mother then?

This is confusing!!

I've been intrigued where Manchester fitted in - maybe his first wife was from there?

Guess I should really look at some marriage records!!

Well with Laura being born Nottinghamshire and Emily as well, it is possible he remarried.
Still cannot find the family though!

Keith thats a thought, I am currently awaiting the birth certificate of John Walton junior - that would show who his Mother was.

He was a Grendier Guard at Windsor Castle in 1871 & 1881 and his army records show his next of kin to be his mother Laura so assumed it was her!!

Thank you for looking though, Sue

Judging by the youngest child in 61, is it possible John was married previously and appears with a different wife in 1851?
