Hi glitter baby, thank you for the info. no i do not have a marriage cert. I only have the little i have been told didnt even know he had middle names until i searched a marriage using guess work. though it looks like your marriage has more info on it than wot i saw. I now have a fathers name as this marriage must be a match as Violet's father is John Henry Walker, All I need to do now is find the birth year for the father and I might be able to find some more info.

Hi you give me a poss 1901 are you saying its poss that joseph changed hes surname or hes mother did in the census?

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 20 Mar 2010 00:26

Something has changed on this post. I specifically wrote down that Joseph had married Elizabeth which I took to be possibly abbreviated to Hettie. Hence my post re 1901.

Please don't delete information without explanation.

Joanne Report 20 Mar 2010 08:47

hi, your 1901 post is still there that is the only 1 that I saw on there. I havent deleted anthing. Any info would be great as it all seems a little odd why I cant find anything on him poss because of the name change.
