Yes it me again, Roll Eyes
I have pulled my mother in laws marriage cert on there is states Father Norman Walker Film director.it also looks like her mother signed E j. Walker I would like to trace this family for my husband, My mother in law was born 1920 2 qt But I have a choice of possible three mothers, Perhaps some some could find a marriage cert for Norman Walker before 1920 which would give me a maiden name.
I would ask my mother in law but she suffers from altzimers ( sorry for the spelling but spell check is not picking it up)and I live in France
Please help. Roll Eyes

Hi crab4

These are but 3 websites mentioning Norman Walker the film Director/Actor
http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/norman-walker/165855/main
http://www.seventymm.com/Actor/322986/Norman_Walker
http://www.thepoplist.com/card.data/Norman%20Walker_1132472.htm

The consensus is:
He was born Sat, 8 October 1892, Bolton Lancashire, died 4 Nov 1963.
Began Film career 1920 as an assistant director.
First major Fim credit: 1925
He was a Captain in WW1
Prior to directing, was a stage actor.
Later in his career he again did acting work

FREEBMD shows  2 Norman WALKER's registered in Dec Qtr Bolton - but in fact the one for page 440 is in error, just checked the image and the page is actually 441:
Norman WALKER - Vol 8c, pg 441
Norman WALKER - Vol 8c, pg 440 (error - page is 441)

And as luck would have it, there are 3 Norman WALKER born Bolton and in Bolton on the 1901 - all  of them have a father named James!
 
Cheers

Cheesy Hello
I have found the marriage of Norman Walker to Celia J. Hibbs in 1919 have asked for cert to be sent. I am hoping once I get the marriage Cert the long journey will start. I have found all children for them also. Much to my surprise. It's reported on the net that Norman Died 4th November 1963 Which would make him 71years of age.This I can't find. Sad

Once again I would like to say thank you to all
