After many years searching, I'm still completely flustered regarding the whereabout of Samuel Walker, b. about 1803, Canterbury and his second wife, Eliza after 1851.
Samuel was formerly the Governor of Abingdon, Berks prison. In 1851, he and Eliza are in Greenwich:
1851 England Census, Kent, Greenwich, Greenwich West, District 11
HO 107/1586
Ashburnham Grove
Walker, Samuel, Head of household, Married, age 45, Annuitant born Kent, Canterbury
Eliza, Wife, Married, age 40, Annuitant born Oxford
William, Son, Unmarried, age 17, Apprentice born Berkshire, Abingdon
Charles G., Son, Unmarried, age 11, Scholar at home, born Berks, Abingdon
Eliza G., Daughter, Unmarried, age 6, Scholar at home, born Berks, Abingdon
Thompson, Charles G., Visitor, Unmarried, age 30, Tailor born Oxford
I've been through Ancestry 100+ times, trying every conceivable name option and haven't found a thing past 1851. They've vanished, including Eliza's brother Charles G. Thompson.
It sounds unreasonable that they may have all died before the 1861 census, and there are no clear BMD records without spending a small fortune on certificates.
Samuel born about 1803-4 Canterbury
Eliza born 1809 Oxford
My gut instinct tells me that they left England, but I can't prove that either.
Might anyone have suggestions about further searching? Thank you in advance for your replies...
