from ancestry



London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: John Walker
Age: Full Age
Estimated birth year: abt 1855
Spouse Name: Ann Palmer
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 27 Aug 1855
Parish: St Mary at Lambeth
County: Middlesex
Borough: Lambeth
Father Name: Roger Walker
Spouse Father Name: Robert Palmer


from image:-

John
Of Full Age
Bachelor
Occupation:- Labourer
Address:- Lambeth

Father:- Roger Walker (deceased), Miller


Ann
Of Full Age
Spinster
No occupation given
Address:- Lambeth

Father:- Robert Palmer (deceased), Butcher


Witnesses:- J. L. Gawler (??, very shaky) and Edr Powell ....... but they both witnessed one other marriage on the same page, so may have been "professional" witnesses rather than family or friends.


The Banns were published on the 5, 12 and 19 August



so that means looking for a marriage registration about 1855, ie after the births of some of the children.
