Trying to find Walker

Hi, I'm looking for James Walker who was born around 1843 in Northallerton (although there were a lot of Walkers in the surrounding villages that could be classed as Northallerton) and moved up towards the Durham area, where he married Ann. I have him living in Hutton Henry, Co Durham in 1871 and his son John (b c1864) is my Gt Grandfather. The census shows him as being born in 1848, but this is a transcription error as the enumeration form shows his age as 28. Sadly, he's not the James Walker b 1833 in Maunby! Then he, and the rest of the family (apart from John) dissappear - it's as if they were abducted by aliens!! I believe he was still alive in 1881 as John's marriage certificate (1883) doesn't have 'deceased' on it. This really is a brick wall, and I am praying that someone, somewhere can help......... Look forward to hearing from you - and many many thanks for trying. All the best Tony |
