	It would be an excellent idea to actually give the names and birthdates of the siblings, I would think. Lots of people are willing to help with the search, but why make us guess at the basic info first? If you reproduce the 1901 census household, for instance, plus any children not yet born then, it would be a start. Have you looked for any of them marrying, at FreeBMd, or looked for them in the 1911 census? http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx Tried Search Trees here at GR?

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 2 Send Message	Thank you for your reply. I shall update the posting later today. I do not have access to the 1911 census so can't go down that route. I can't find him on the 1901 census either. He had a cousin born the same year with the same name which is also making things difficult. We know he was in WW2, but there again so were a lot of ther Robert Walkers. However I shall take your advice and put more info on the posting. Thanking you Chris

	He would have been a bit old for WW2. Did you mean WW1?
