Hi I am trying to find Ian Douglas Walker born 1946/1947 in Bromley
or his sister Alison Jean Born 1952 also in Bromley

Their parents were Hugh Bertram ( my late mother's brother)& Vera
Known to be living in Bushey, nr Watford around 1986.

I would be grateful for any information if anyone knows of the above family, please contact me

You probably know of father Hugh's death:

Name: Hugh Bertram Walker
Birth Date: 6 Jan 1911
Death Registration Month/Year: Apr 1984
Age at death (estimated): 73
Registration district: Watford
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Volume: 10


Could this be mother Vera's death later?

Name: Vera Gladys Walker
Birth Date: 6 Aug 1926
Death Registration Month/Year: Sep 1999
Age at death (estimated): 73
Registration district: Watford
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Register number: C47D
Entry Number: 230
Page: 754


Standard advice is: the death certificate could give info, but in this case likely no more than you know. A newspaper obituary, if that is Gladys's death, might give info about children/grandchildren.

If you know the surnames of the spouses of Ian and Alison, a quick & easy search could be done for births of children post-1984, which is a bit of an outside possibility; if any, they could indicate where they were living at the time.

Might this marriage be a possibility for Ian?

Name: Ian D Walker
Spouse: Malgorzata Rusek
Date of Registration: Feb 1991
Registration district: Watford
Registration county (inferred): Hertfordshire
Volume Number: 10
Page Number: 487


There are dozens of other Ian D Walker marriages, but that's the only one in Watford. Ditto Alison J Walker marriages, but none in Watford.


There are these births that could match with that marriage:


Jacqueline Magdalen Walker Rusek Sep 1991 Watford Hertfordshire
Lauren Katarina Walker Rusek Sep 1995 Watford Hertfordshire
Michael Julek Walker Rusek Jun 1999 Dacorum Hertfordshire

Hi Kathryn

Only just seen your reply
Yes I have Hugh's Will & his death certificate.

Don't know if the death is for Vera because I was led to believe that Vera was older than Hugh. Also don't think she had a middle name

Again I don't know if Ian or Alison married, I know that Ian was living in Bedfordshire around 1986 according to his father's will, so I don't think it will be his marriage in Watford.

I would have thought if he marrried its possible around the 1970'a, but its all a gamble.

It is unfortunate that I only found out in recent years that they had been living in Highland Road, Bushey & that I had a Gt Aunt also in Bushey, but didn't know this until it was too late

Thanks for you help
