Find Ancestors

I am trying to find more details on Frederick William Walker - I believe he was born 25-09-1864 in Slough Berkshire. He was married to Eliza Blackford who was born in Tring Herts. I think his Dad was called Thomas and his Mum was Emma Holmes. He had 4 children - Robert (1880), Ellen (1890 - Stoke Mandeville) Alice (1888) and my Great Great Grandfather Frederick James (1886 - Chesham Bucks).

I cant seem to be able to trace any further back so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Info from tree on Ancestry,John walker 1799 and Mary 1796 had Henry 1821 married Mary Oxlade 1826 they had 14 kids including frederick william walker 25/9/1864.
Fred married Eliza Rose Blackford and had Robert 1880-1922
Fred James 1886 died 1966 married Emily elizabeth Richardson in 1910

Alice 1888 died Australia.
Ellen 1889-1963 married Walter Henry bachelor 1899-1962

I'm sorry people take it personally when replying to individuals on their account and not on the thread as its the first time i've used this way wasnt sure there was a set procedure but obviously to some people there is so wont be using this way again!!!!

Thanks Maryb for the information that you gave me. It goes with some of the info i had already but not sure if i fancy the hard task of finding all 14 children!

If they did have robert 1880 then fred would have only been 15 and that will be why they had to wait till he was 21 to marry i.e 1885.

I can't find any info on Robert at all,even tried robert Blackford.

The Fred born to a Thomas and Emma was born 1863 in Hulme Lancs

It isn't your tree is it Catherine?just noticed your name Beswick and that is the name of the tree on Ancestry.

Maryb

Yeah that would be my tree ... just noticed that i hadnt updated my tree on here but i had on there ... sorry for wasting your time but thank you for the extra information about why they would have had to wait to get married.

Thanks once again.

So why were you saying you could'nt go futher back ,when your tree goes back to John Walker 1799.
You also said Fred's parents maybe were Thomas and Emma,yet on your tree you have Henry and Mary.
What exactly were you hoping to find out.

Maryb

I was looking on this tree and had only written back to Frederick William Walker but on Ancestry i had gone back further but not updated this tree. My own fault for having 2 trees and remembering to keep them both updated.

Sorry

OK Catherine,I do that myself take notes then do it all over again,forgetting that I had done the same people before.

No problem Mary.

Yeah i've been doing this on/off for about 5 yrs now and when i feel like i've hit a brick wall, i walk away from it for a little bit and then come back to it, in the hope that i will pick up on something i didnt see before but i get out of practice of what i have to keep notes of and add it to where. My family seems to be quite big but on my dad's side it seems to be quite difficult to find. His dad's dad's side and his mum's mum's side (if that makes sense!) no one seems to have heard of (and that includes family members i've asked!) ha ha. But thanks for the help so far even though think i may have picked wrong side and will need to do a new thread ! Oops
