WALKER family, Abingdon St. Helen's
« on: Sunday 27 January 08 19:58 GMT (UK) »
Hoping to find a kind soul that might be able to look up the baptisms of some children at Abingdon St. Helen's or Abingdon Prison Chapel(?)


Samuel WALKER, born Canterbury was the Governor of Abingdon County Prison in 1841. His wife, Eliza the Matron. I believe Eliza may be Eliza Thompson, b. 1809 at St. Aldate, Oxford. Perhaps one of the children's baptisms may reveal her family surname.


WALKER, Caroline Sarah b. abt. 1826
WALKER, William Samuel b. abt.  1834
WALKER, Henry Edward b. abt.  1836  d. 1841
WALKER, Samuel George b. registered in 1842 d. 1840
WALKER, Charles George b. 1839
WALKER, Eliza Georgiana b. 1844


Samuel Walker was a marriage witness at several of the Thompson family marriages at Oxford St. Clement in the 1830s - 1840s. Charles George Thompson, my Eliza's brother, is with Samuel & Eliza Walker on the 1851 census in Greenwich. I can't find a marriage for Samuel & Eliza at either St. Aldate's or St. Clement's where her family lived.

Ema Eliza c 18 Jul 1830 b 20 Feb 1821 d Sam & Mary Ann
Thiza Ann c 18 Jul 1830 b 6 Nov 1823 d Sam & Mary Ann
Samuel c 19 Mar 1831 s Sam &  Mary Ann
Wm Samuel c 20 Feb 1834 s Sam &  Mary Ann
Henry Edward c 21 Jan 1836 s Sam &  Eliza

Transcript (from OFHS) only goes up to 1837.

I guess you are looking for another wife- Sam did not marry either Mary Ann or Eliza at St Helen's.
