Marriage of Caleb Walker
« on: Monday 13 January 14 20:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
        I am looking for a marriage of a Caleb Walker around the year 1878 in the Channel Islands.  I am not sure if the marriage took place there but I have looked into English records but no luck.  He married a Mary Ann born 1856 in Guernsey.   Caleb lived in Lancashire and Kent and was in the military.
Thanking you
George165

Hi CaroleW
                 No I do not have any certificates.  I have just found a marriage of Caleb and a Mary Ann Earnshaw 1883 in Yorkshire.  I have 1 child born 1884 in Lancashire.  With this information would there be any records for the birth of Mary Ann around 1856?
Thanks

I am looking for a marriage of a Caleb Walker around the year 1878 in the Channel Islands.

This gives the impression that a child was born around 1879/80

The Caleb Walker who married in 1883 was aged 23 -occ joiner - father Emmanuel - occ joiner & builder

Mary Ann Earnshaw was  aged 20 - father John (deceased) occ cotton spinner

Looking at the 1891 entry - Mary was b 1862 Brighouse Yorkshire so I doubt this is the right marriage

It would help if you could give some details about your Caleb & Mary and their children as I cannot find a Mary Walker b Guernsey.

Where and when was Caleb born?

Hi CaroleW
                Thank you for your reply.  I am after the census details for Caleb Walker born 1845 in Kent and Mary Ann Walker born 1856 in Guernsey.
I am after the 1891 at Hayfield Glossop Derbyshire
                     1901 at Plumstead London
                     1911 at Woolwich only Mary Ann as Caleb died in Woolwich in 1907
The only child I have is a Caleb born in 1884 in Lancashire.  With the details of the censuses I might find more children.
Thanking you
George165

Hi KGarrard
                  Thank you for the replies.  I got my information on Caleb's birth from the 1881 census where he was at the Lancaster barracks born in Kent.  I know that a son Caleb was with his Mother in 1911 but with the information you gave me there was another child.
Thanks
