I'm trying to get details for John Walker b abt 1880 Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire who joined the Army (Gloucestershire Regiment) in 1899. I think his father was John Walker (next of kin in army records). He married Laura Fletcher in 1909 in Tewkesbury. Although there are John Walkers in Tewkesbury, I'm having problems finding evidence of John's family.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards

Do you have John and Laura's marriage cert for his father's occupation?
I can only find one John, with a father John in Tewkesbury in 1881 and he is a couple of years younger:

There are only two John Walker births registered in Tewkesbury between 1875 and 1879:
Births Jun 1877 (>99%)
Walker John Tewkesbury 6a 462
Births Sep 1879 (>99%)
Walker John Tewkesbury 6a 461
and it looks as if the 1879 one died:
Deaths Mar 1880 (>99%)
Walker John 0 Tewkesbury 6a 340
The father John on the 1881 is a Wood Sawyer. You would need to get John's marriage cert to compare the occupation.
