Walker Manton/Uppingham/Oakham/Hambleton *COMPLETED*

[LauraEJ]

I have the following info about the Walker family.

My Gt GT grandmother Ann Walker was born about 1815 in Manton (from censuses after her marriage to John Holland Trigg). I have baptisms for Manton up to 1812 - frustratingly - so unable to confirm Ann's birth & parentage from there.

However, I do know her father was John Walker, a labourer. ( from her marriage certificate).

On IGI, I have found 3 daughters born to John Walker and Anne in Manton 1807, 1809 & 1811, which I assume were Ann's sisters.  Also 2 earlier children in Hambleton to a John and Anne Walker, 1803 & 1805, so they may be the same family, which moved to Manton c1806.

IGI shows a marriage in Hambleton for John Walker and Ann Weldon, 1802.

No John and Anne Walker appear on the 1841 or 1851 censuses in Rutland.
I found a possible John with a new wife, Sarah,  on the 1851  census(John then aged 63, so  a bit young, maybe he was vague about his age), a death for an Ann Walker registered 1847 under Oakham, Rutland - BMD indexes, and possible marriage for John Walker and Sarah Bilsdon 1850 - from BMD indexes. Haven't sent for the certificates yet, as not sure.

I included all the above to save you helpful lot the trouble of searching for info that I already had.

Can someone with marriage records tell me whether there were any other marriages for a John Walker to an Anne c1800-1807 in Rutland?

And does anyone have access to records which might show that the Ann/Anne Walker death in 1847 was the wife of John Walker? Her age at death would be an indication.

Also, can anyone confirm that a John Walker did marry a Sarah Bilsdon in 1850, and in which village or town?

Thanks for any info,

Laura

Hi I am looking for a Ann Walker who married David Robertson in 1841 at Oakham Rutlandshire. She died 1846 Buried at Essendon Hertfordshire. Is she part this family of Walkers? There was also a sister Mary? They would have been born around 1816-1818. Regards LyndaN
