Hey Guys forget my other threads and please NOTE I HAVE ALL THE CENSUS RECORDS!!!!
What I need help with PLEASE IS JUST the following:

William 1859 was born to Reuben Walker 1834 and Sarah Smith.
William 1879 was born to Reuben 1834 and Hannah.

Sarah Smith was previously married to Samuel Nevell and they had two daughters Mary 1854 and Hannah 1856.

Samuel died and Sarah took up with Reuben Walker 1843.
Reuben accepted Mary and Hannah as step - daughters.
Sarah and Reuben married and then had William Reuben in 1859.

Sarah died or went off the scene and Reuben Walker 1834 eventually appears to have gone into a relationship with his step daughter Hannah.

Reuben and Hannah never married as far as I can trace.
They then had children William Reuben 1879; Arabella(my paternal grandmother) 1883; Thomas 1886; Emily 1889 and Nellie 1892,
I know all about Arabella and Nellie.

CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS: Marriage and deaths of William Reuben 1859; Thomas 1886 Emily 1889. Death of Reuben Walker 1834 and William Reuben 1879.

I know William Reuben Walker married Rose C. Nash in 1911 and they had a child Leslie in 1917.

Please please I know you are all so helpful but I HAVE the CENSUS details for ALL years.

Thank you,
Roger

Hi Roger,
I think this may be what you are looking for.
William Reuben Walker (m) Elizabeth Jane Wright Sep 1890 Guildford Vol2a P137. On 1891 census we have William R Walker age 38 collector of rents born London southwark; Elizabeth J age 24 born Woking surrey; Annie M daughter age 10mnths ditto. Address Church st Woking Guildford Surrey.

Also found death for Reuben born 1834 I think.
Reuben Walker death Sep 1916 aged 84 Islington Vol 1b P186.

Hope this helps.
cheers, Pat.

ps If you look on 1901 census, Elizabeth appears to be living with her parents and the child Annie May is in the Guildford workhouse. I cannot find a certain death for William Reuben between 1891 and 1901 but there are 2 Williams died Guildford. One in 1895 and one in 1896. Very strange.

Hi Pat,
After further research I don't think the marriage to Elizabeth is my William Reuben Walker. Mine was definitely born in 1859 so this one is 6 years younger. Mine is also shown on the 1871 census with Reuben and Hannah aged 11 years which confirms his year of birth. Mine was also definitely born in Shoreditch and not Southwark.
Please have another go if you get the time.
