The Hambridge/Thompson marriage was in Nuneaton in 1910 see www.freebmd.org.uk

You can use the same site to look for Hambridge births with a mothers maiden name of Thompson.  Maiden names are only shown on births from the September Qtr 1911.

Have you looked for them on the 1911 census

but what I don't no is Ada walker birth name before she married my great grandad George walker

You can find that one of 2 ways.  You can look up the 1916 birth for Hannah Walker on freebmd which will give you Ada's maiden name

If you know when and where George and Ada married - you can look up their marriage on freebmd which will give her maiden name

Unfortunately - you have given no details of Hannah's birthplace and as you have posted on the travelling people board - there are no clues there

A possibility is this marriage if Hannah was born in Birmingham

September qtr 1909   
BYFIELD    Ada        Birmingham    6d   3    
WALKER    George Herbert        Birmingham    6d   3

There are a number of Walker/Byfield births on freebmd

You need to look them up on the 1911 census to check their details

Hi I been trying to find out my great nan Ada walker maiden name before she married george walker they had 3 or 4 daughters my nan hannah walker born in December 1916 I think my nan hannah walker might of had a brother but I'm not 100 percent sure. But what I do no is my great grandad george walker was born in tipperary ireland and he met and married ada unknown surname and became Ada walker.
My nan hannah walker met and married my grandad Joseph Samuel hambridge and they use to work on the boat delivering coal from brimingham to Brentford middlesex. What I do no is Ada walker and George walker resting place is in Ealing middlesex. So if anone can help me find the maiden name of Ada walker and where she was born and how she might of met george walker I would love to no as I'm doing a family tree.

Then maybe you should put it aside until the 1921 is released and hope that Hannah is enumerated with her parents.

It may be that they were not enumerated at all in 1911. There is nothing to be done if that is the case.

I'd also dismiss any rumoured birthplace until it is backed up by hard evidence

You also seem to think that Hannah had 3 sisters, one called Dorothy.
I can't see any evidence for Dorothy.

Post by: PaulineJ on Thursday 25 January 18 17:02 GMT (UK)
Kirsty, you seem to be failing to grasp that we "KNOW" nothing.
Until you get certificates, or other records, it's all conjecture.

I urge you to start looking on freebmd for early deaths if the names of your mother's maternal aunts and uncles seem  unfamiliar. (ie these are siblings of your mother's mother)
There is also the possibility that the family called them by another (pet) name, so don't jump to conclusions

Kirsty,
Have you located any of these people in 1939?
You'll have to buy a subscription/ credits to do so. We cannot help with the information from it. Presumably you have an inkling of where the family might be?

Have any of them ever heard of these "missing" names?

Have you located any of them in 1939? If so, where & with whom?

What more have you discovered of "Dorothy"?

I only have a few cousins and they never heard of they names of Arthur and Emily walker wich is why I'm trying to find the year they died and death place so I need some help please

There is NOTHING else we can do. Are you prepared to buy the birth certificates of these two , and then buy every namesake death of approximately the correct age?
 
The names are not rare enough, nor do any of us know where they might have been .
TALK with your cousins and see what snippets they can provide.

Eg what names witness family marriages? (when and where)
What names notify known deaths? (when and where)
What addresses were kids of the era born at? (when and where)

Kirsty, you are not following up on the suggestions that we make.
You've been advised to ask your family about names/dates/places on the certificates that they have, and you've ignored it.

how do you now know emily died as an infant?
What was the source? Do you know where she was buried, who else is in the grave plot?

hi I did say no one knows in my family as my cousins never heard of emily and Arthur walker.

No, we cannot.
The information does not appear to be out there.
You have a 1909 marriage, yet no 1911 census, nor anything prior to 1909.

It's been suggested that you will have to wait for the 1921 census and see what may be on there

We know nothing of his father, and nothing of his mother.
NOR do we have any inkling of where he was born.
Nor do we know any address for him after the 1909 marriage, to try for 1911 / 1939.
YOU would have to supply addresses and actual dates of birth  (& you have chosen not to buy any certificates)

Family rumour on where George Herbert Walker is no use at all. We've stated that several times.
Nothing more can be done until there is more HARD evidence.
NO George Herbert Walker births are registered in Ireland in that timeframe, never mind any particular county.

If you want to progress you will have to BUY certificates and tell us what the CERTIFICATE(s) state.

The Meriden street address was not listed in the 1911 census (presumably it's empty)

You've already been provided with the 1911 census for Ada's birth family at reply number 33.

Then maybe you should put it aside until the 1921 is released and hope that Hannah is enumerated with her parents.

It may be that they were not enumerated at all in 1911. There is nothing to be done if that is the case.

I'd also dismiss any rumoured birthplace until it is backed up by hard evidence

You also seem to think that Hannah had 3 sisters, one called Dorothy.
I can't see any evidence for Dorothy.

On my heritage I was matched up with a Arthur Michael walker born circa 11th of June 1920 in Birmingham worked as a real estate agent  hes mothers name was ada byfield and he's father was George Herbert walker and Arthur had a wife called Florence Joan Walker (born Bilbrough-Bell)
His partner
Born in 1917 - Ascot, Yorkshire, England
Died in 1982 - Mona Vale Hospital, NSW so my question could this person Arthur be my great uncle because according to my heritage my Arthur walker born in June 1920 is a match to Arthur Michael walker born in 11th of June 1920

I just come across this on ancestry and I think I might of found a George Herbert walker born in January 1886 in rugby Warwickshire and I think that George Herbert walker might of been baptism as I cames across a George h walker mother walker for July 1911 in Birmingham Warwickshire I'm not sure if this could be the same person but I would like it if you could take a look in to this thank you

I dont know how myheritage does its matches, but that looks like a suggestion rather than a documented paper trail. Did you contact a submitter for further information?

if it were documented,  then it would show when he went to Aus, when&where he wed and when&where he died. There isnt  an Ascot in Yorkshire for Florence Joan to have been born there, so even that statement is doubtful.

What we have asked for time after time is
Dates of birth for any/all of those Walker-Byefield births
Places (street addresses) for those Walker-Byfield births.
Dates, places, street addresses, parental information, witness names on marriages of those Walker-Byfield kids.

If you really think that the illegitimate 1886 birth is your man, then BUY the birth certificate and we can see whether we can find him/his mother in census to rule him in/out.

There is a tree on Ancestry for Arthur Michael Walker and Florence Joan. She appears to have been born Florence J Bell in Leeds in 1917 mmn Bilbrough. She married John Henry Smith Filmer in St Pancras in 1939 and subsequently went to Australia. She supposedly married Arthur in 1957 in Sydney ( he being her third husband). There appears to have been one daughter ( details private). Possibly worth trying to contact the tree owner for more information.

I think I might have made some sense of this. There is a baptism linked to the 1886 Rugby marriage of George Herbert Walker. It took place in Brinklow, Warwickshire in Sept 1886. No father, mother Emily Walker, single woman. Going back to 1881 in Brinklow there is a possible for Emily Walker the mother. She is age 18, daughter of James and Mary A Walker. By 1891 she has become Emily Morris, married with two children - George Morris age 5 and Rose Morris age 3. No husband present. Rose is registered as Rose Walker in 1888 mmn Walker. By 1901 both Rose and George have disappeared but there are three other children - Charles 6, Lily 1 and an unnamed baby. All are recorded as Morris mmn Walker on gro. Emily is again on her own. Note on census that husband is away from home. However when Rose Morris married Albert Henry Collins in 1910 her father is given as Charles Morris ( deceased) occupation Boatman. This provides a tantalising link between George Herbert Walker born 1886 in Rugby and the world of canal boatmen. Still looking for George Herbert in 1901.

I think that James Walker may be the grandfather of George Herbert Walker. I believe that George was the illegitimate son of a Emily Walker, daughter of James. However you need to check this out by purchasing appropriate certificates.

George Herbert Walker was baptised in 1886 in Brinklow, Warwickshire. This provides the information that his mother was Emily Walker, a single woman. No father is named.
1881 census for Brinklow has an Emily Walker age 18, daughter of James and Mary Ann Walker. She is likely to be the mother of George Herbert Walker.
In 1891 George  is living in Stockton, Warwickshire with his mother Emily and a sister called Rose ( born as Rose Morris with mmn Walker in Brinklow in  1888). Emily, George and Rose all have the surname Morris and Emily indicates that she is married, but her husband is not present.
In 1901 Emily ( still using the name Morris and claiming to be married) is living in Brinklow. Rose and George are not with her but she has three other children - Charles age 6, Lily age 1 and an unnamed infant. The births of all these children are registered as Morris with mmn Walker. No husband is present.
There is no record of a marriage between Emily and someone called Morris and it is likely they were never married. The only clue to the name of Mr Morris comes from the 1910 marriage certificate of daughter Rose, which names her father as Charles Morris, Boatman ( deceased).
Emily married in 1910 in Northants to William Harry Stratfull. She calls herself a widow and married under the name Morris. She gives her father as James Walker,  Boatman (deceased) The family are at Buckby Wharf, Northants in the 1911 census. William Harry and Emily have surname Stratfull ( married one year) There are four Morris children living with them - Lilian Mary (Lily) and Blanche Elizabeth ( the baby from 1901) plus Ethel born 1903 and Leonard born 1905. The latter two children are also recorded as surname Morris mmn Walker.
So to summarise, Emily Walker appears to have had seven children
George Herbert Walker (father unknown)
Rose ( father Charles Morris)
Charles ( father probably Charles Morris)
Lilian Mary (Lily)( father probably Charles Morris)
Blanche Elizabeth ( father probably Charles Morris)
Ethel ( father probably Charles Morris)
Leonard ( father probably Charles Morris)
It appears unlikely that Emily was actually ever married to Charles Morris.

I assume you mean James ( not Charles) Walker and Mary Ann.
Emily Ann Walker was born in 1863 in Brinklow. As far as I can see from census returns she was one of 12 children of James Walker and Mary Ann nee Gresley/Greasley. James Walker married Mary Ann Gresley on 16th December 1861 at Bordesley St Andrew, Warwickshire ( certificate viewable on Ancestry).He was age 32 and his occupation was Boatman ( although he appears as a Labourer on some of the census returns). His father was James Walker, a Tallow Maker. Mary Ann was 21, the daughter of Joseph Gresley, a Labourer.
Siblings of Emily were -
James born 1860 with surname Greasley ( pre marriage)
Emily Ann born 1863
Alice born 1864
George born 1866 died 1870
Lizzy born 1868 ( seems also to have been known as Lucy and Elizabeth)
Sarah Ann born 1870
Frederick born 1871 died 1872
Annie 1872
Edward 1874
Harry born 1875 died 1876
Beatrice Louisa 1876
Herbert 1878

James Walker was born about 1829 in Brinklow and Mary Ann Walker nee Gresley was born 1839/40 also in Brinklow.

Regarding your question about the possibility of Charles Morris being the father of George Herbert Walker. It is possible, but unfortunately I’m not sure how you would prove this conclusively as there is no father’s name  on his birth or baptism.

Charles was age 50 ( so born about 1851) and his place of birth is Stockton Brook, Staffordshire. His occupation was Boatman (Barge).

They never appear together on the census, but that is only one day every ten years. There is no way of knowing what was happening on all the other days. Charles job as a canal boatman would obviously take him away from home a lot of the time and it may be that he was simply away working on each census  night. We certainly know that he was away on his boat in 1901, but the fact he had his daughter with him suggests that he was part of the family group.

Emily Walker/Morris remarried as a widow in 1910 in Northants to William Harry Stratfull. She gives her father as James Walker deceased occ Boatman. The Stratfull family are in the 1911 census including Lilian Mary (Lily) and Blanche Elizabeth ( the baby from 1901). She was born around 1862 in Brinklow. They are living at Buckby Wharf.

hi can I ask who was Emily first husband and did they have kids together and what was her mother's name.
hi do you no if Emily went back to walker or Morris and do you no the year and month William and Charles died. And do you no if Charles and Emily children ever married.

Walker was Emily’s maiden name. Can’t find an obvious death for Charles Morris ( presumably before 1910 when Emily remarried). William Henry Stratfull died in Daventry in 1940 (3b 268) and he was predeceased by Emily who died in Daventry in 1936 ( 3b 105).

Only definite birth I can find for children of Emily is that of Rose Morris to Alfred Henry Collins in 1910. They married in Norton Northamptonshire on 9th May 1910. Her father is given as Charles Morris ( deceased). Rose and Alfred had at least two children as they are listed with them in 1939 - Charles J in 1917 and Ethel M in 1919. There are other possible Collins births with mmn Morris in the Daventry Reg district which you can view on FreeBMD. Ethel M appears to have married someone called Nolan in 1948. There is also a Raymond H Collins ( b 1930)  listed in 1939 whose mmn was Collins ( probably a grandchild of Rose and Albert).

WHERE & WHEN was this Emily born, and what was Emily's maiden name?

How do you get Emily's mother's maiden name?

and what relationship exists between YOU and Emily?
(and to be blunt, any chance of Sir Gresley being related to another family of the same name in the English Midlands is pretty remote). Herbert Nigel Gresley. Born: 19 June 1876, Edinburgh

I assume you mean James ( not Charles) Walker and Mary Ann.
Emily Ann Walker was born in 1863 in Brinklow. As far as I can see from census returns she was one of 12 children of James Walker and Mary Ann nee Gresley/Greasley. James Walker married Mary Ann Gresley on 16th December 1861 at Bordesley St Andrew, Warwickshire ( certificate viewable on Ancestry).He was age 32 and his occupation was Boatman ( although he appears as a Labourer on some of the census returns). His father was James Walker, a Tallow Maker. Mary Ann was 21, the daughter of Joseph Gresley, a Labourer.
Siblings of Emily were -
James born 1860 with surname Greasley ( pre marriage)
Emily Ann born 1863
Alice born 1864
George born 1866 died 1870
Lizzy born 1868 ( seems also to have been known as Lucy and Elizabeth)
Sarah Ann born 1870
Frederick born 1871 died 1872
Annie 1872
Edward 1874
Harry born 1875 died 1876
Beatrice Louisa 1876
Herbert 1878

James Walker was born about 1829 in Brinklow and Mary Ann Walker nee Gresley was born 1839/40 also in Brinklow.

Regarding your question about the possibility of Charles Morris being the father of George Herbert Walker. It is possible, but unfortunately I’m not sure how you would prove this conclusively as there is no father’s name  on his birth or baptism.

You can search the death indexes for Emma Hambridge yourself.
She appears to be alive in 1911, so look after then.

If you look at my earlier answer on this thread  ( # 71) you will see that Mary Ann had the maiden name Gresley/Greasley and was born around 1840 in Brinklow ( information gleaned from the census and the gro entries for the birth of her children). She may be the Mary Ann Greasley born in Rugby Reg district ( which includes Brinklow) in 1840. If so, her mother’s maiden name was Newcom(be). She appears from the 1841 census to be the daughter of Joseph Greasley and Anne Newcomb who married in Brinkley in 1838. Joseph and Ann had a few children born in Rugby district in the 1840’s ( Mary Ann ( 1840), John ( 1843), Sarah (1845), Joseph (1847), Richard (1849) and Elizabeth (1850). Surname appears as Greasley/Gresley/Griesley depending on source record.

I am really very confused by your post. Are you looking for information on the Mary who was married to James Walker ( Tallow Chandler). This James and Mary were the parents of the James who married Mary Ann Greasley. In 1841 the family were living in Brinklow. Included in the family was a Thomas Walker age 3. There is a likely gro birth reference for him which gives his mmn as Sanders. Ancestry have a banns entry for a marriage between James Walker and Mary Sanders in 1825 in Brinklow.

Now William hambridge was born in 1883 but died in 1964 but he's wife my great nan Sarah Ann Thompson who I do not have the birth year for died in 1947 her father name was Wilfred Thompson and mother name was Ann Thompson I do have a marriage certificate for William hambridge and Sarah Thompson they got married in register office in Nuneaton on June 10th 1910 but I'm not good at my maths and I would like a little bit of help to find out where Sarah Ann Thompson was born
Considering I have tried to find her birth parents marriage and her birth mum's maiden name and I can't find anything so therefore I don't know where Sarah Ann Thompson was born

She was 62 when she died in 1947 making her born around 1884/5. From her place of birth (Wilncote, Warwickshire) in 1911 it looks like she is the Sarah Ann Thompson born in June quarter 1885 in Tamworth Reg district ( which covers  Wilncote). Gro index shows her mother’s maiden name to be Allton. A Wilfred Thompson married an Ann Allton in Tamworth Reg district in 1884. Father’s name is a match for what you have.

Can someone please help me out with this topic that I would like to crack. I put snap shots of my family tree of my grandfather Joseph Samuel hambridge born 20/4/15  he married my nan Hannah walker in Brentford Middlesex. My grandfather was born in wharf branston a longside with he's older brother William hambridge 18/12/13 who was born in wharf branston my grandad had other siblings Evelyn hambridge born 2/3/07  olive rose below born hambridge 21/2/18 Wilfred hambridge 24/1/20. But anyway my great grandfather William hambridge was born 1883-1964 and my great grandmother Sarah Ann Thompson 1886 -1947 my great great grandfather Thomas hambridge born 1855 and Emma walker born 1862 and her dad name was John walker and he's wife name was Sarah walker born jellyman.

Now I put my family tree up on Facebook national waterways museum. And someone told me I'm related to David Hambridge who lived on a double decker bus on Barlows Braunston Yard. Which does make sense in away as my grandad Joseph Samuel hambridge was born in whafe braunston but I would like to know if there is at all relation between me and this guy call David hambridge apparently he is related to James born 1804 and he's wife was Elizabeth lines 1805 so I would love to know if there is at all a connections to the all of the families above

There is a family tree which I have not viewed.

Since you have been told "David Hambridge lived on a double-decker bus" we may assume that he's fairly recently (last 50 years?) been alive, but there's NO WAY we can make any links out of what you've repeated about the family.

We've no crystal balls either.
You have enough information to search 1851 & 1841 for yourself.
You also DO have the father of Joseph Ladds from his second marriage.
Buy the 1854 marriage cert for Elizabeth Wheeler for her parental info and witness names.

Emily Walker/Morris remarried as a widow in 1910 in Northants to William Harry Stratfull. She gives her father as James Walker deceased occ Boatman. The Stratfull family are in the 1911 census including Lilian Mary (Lily) and Blanche Elizabeth ( the baby from 1901). She was born around 1862 in Brinklow. They are living at Buckby Wharf.
Isobel
hi can I ask who was Emily first husband and did they have kids together and what was her mother's name.




George Herbert Walker was baptised in 1886 in Brinklow, Warwickshire. This provides the information that his mother was Emily Walker, a single woman. No father is named.
1881 census for Brinklow has an Emily Walker age 18, daughter of James and Mary Ann Walker. She is likely to be the mother of George Herbert Walker.
In 1891 George  is living in Stockton, Warwickshire with his mother Emily and a sister called Rose ( born as Rose Morris with mmn Walker in Brinklow in  1888). Emily, George and Rose all have the surname Morris and Emily indicates that she is married, but her husband is not present.
In 1901 Emily ( still using the name Morris and claiming to be married) is living in Brinklow. Rose and George are not with her but she has three other children - Charles age 6, Lily age 1 and an unnamed infant. The births of all these children are registered as Morris with mmn Walker. No husband is present.
There is no record of a marriage between Emily and someone called Morris and it is likely they were never married. The only clue to the name of Mr Morris comes from the 1910 marriage certificate of daughter Rose, which names her father as Charles Morris, Boatman ( deceased).
Emily married in 1910 in Northants to William Harry Stratfull. She calls herself a widow and married under the name Morris. She gives her father as James Walker,  Boatman (deceased) The family are at Buckby Wharf, Northants in the 1911 census. William Harry and Emily have surname Stratfull ( married one year) There are four Morris children living with them - Lilian Mary (Lily) and Blanche Elizabeth ( the baby from 1901) plus Ethel born 1903 and Leonard born 1905. The latter two children are also recorded as surname Morris mmn Walker.
So to summarise, Emily Walker appears to have had seven children
George Herbert Walker (father unknown)
Rose ( father Charles Morris)
Charles ( father probably Charles Morris)
Lilian Mary (Lily)( father probably Charles Morris)
Blanche Elizabeth ( father probably Charles Morris)
Ethel ( father probably Charles Morris)
Leonard ( father probably Charles Morris)
It appears unlikely that Emily was actually ever married to Charles Morris.

You might be wasting your money if you buy that certificate in the future.
