Reuben William Walker (or was it William Rueben Walker) b. 1880
was the son of Reuben Walker and Hannah Walker. Shows in the 1891 Census with siblings. I have been unable to find anything about his marriage or death. Any of you Sherlock Holmes out there able to solve the puzzle please.
Thank you, Roger

Hi Yes,
Thank you. I have all of that.
What I am trying to locate is details of his marriage and death. Did he ever marry? Did he die in the Great War?

I can only see a record for Rueben W Walker in 1915 to Jessie Bannister but it's in Leeds

Thank you for your help.
Looks like the marriage in 1911 at Islington and would either have been to Rose C Nash or Eliza Edwards but probably cannot confirm that further without the marriage certificate as both are shown on the same page as William.
Any help with death would be appreciated.
I am now in New Zealand.
