Janette Walker Death?
« on: Monday 25 August 14 21:48 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to find the obituary or any family info about Janette Walker who died 15/10/1998 in Mendenhall Mississippi.

I'm trying to find out if it is the same Janette Walker who was born 31/12/1957 in Chesterfield England. Also trying to find her father Frederick Harry Walker born in Chesterfield?

Any help would be great thanks.

Sammy.

Keep in mind that the Social Security Death Index gives a place of last residence, which is not necessarily the place of death.

The lady who died in Mendenhall, Mississippi does have the same birth date but is from an African-American family and she is not likely to be the person you seek.  What other information do you have about your Janette Walker that would provide clues in a search?  Do you know her mother's name?  Do you have a date of birth and date of death and place of death for either her mother or her father?  Does she have brothers and sisters?  Is it possible that Janette married and thus her last name changed?  Did Janette have any children?  What does the word GLEIM mean on the transcription record you found for her in the freebmd.org.uk database for her birth record?

Another enquiry here - Author is Knort4 - Genealogical Researcher.

http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MSSIMPSO/2014-08/1409368628

Free BMD UK  show GLEIM is the mothers maiden name. That was the only birth recorded to Walker and Gleim.
