Irene Claire Walker & Annie Elizabeth Walker
« on: Monday 20 June 16 09:45 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on Irene Claire Walker and Annie Elizabeth Walker daughters of Harold Walker and Annie Hunt.  The following is what I know:

Harold Walker married Annie Hunt in 1908 in Annandale, New South Wales, Australia.  They had the following children:
Irene Claire Walker born 21 June 1910, Annandale, NSW married in NZ in 1929 to Walter John Wright Munro, occupation Railway employee.  They had one known child, William John Wright Munro born c 1933 died 2 July 2011.

Annie Elizabeth Walker born 1912, Annandale, NSW, married in NZ in 1930 to Stanley Wilfred Williamson, occupation Civil Servant.  Stanley died in 1934 and is buried in Karori cemetery.  According to his Probate record they had one child.

Harold D Walker born 1915, Annandale, NSW died 1932, Redfern, NSW buried Rookwood cemetery.
James George Walker born 1918, died 1977, NSW

Harold Walker sought a divorce from Annie Walker in 1925-1927 on the grounds of desertion.  Decree Absolute granted in 1927 in NSW.  I don't know what happened to Annie.  Did she come to NZ with her two daughters?

In particular I am looking for info on Annie Williamson and her child.  I found Annie in the 1938 electoral roll living at 55 Crofton Road, Ngaio, Wellington, widow.  I have checked the NZ DIA BMD index to see if she remarried but can only access the index to 20/6/1936.  I can find nothing further in the indexes for them.  I have also checked the electoral rolls for NZ and Archway.
Probabte records on familysearch have also been checked.  I have also searched on Paperspast.

Did Irene and Walter Munro have any other children?

I have previously posted on the Australia board which provided me with some of the above info and gave me further leads.

Can anybody help with additional information?

PPS:

To fellow chatters - my PM had nothing to do with the following...

I don't know what happened to Annie.  Did she come to NZ with her two daughters?

...so I'm guessing any help there would be appreciated.

Hi again...

Have just checked the 2015 Hutt South electoral roll. The White Pages listing I gave you is for the right lady and her husband.

As she would be in her mid-eighties there's a good chance she'll know all the answers.

Maybe write her a letter :)

Regards
Beg

"James George Walker born 1918, died 1977, NSW"

Do you have his death from NSWBDM as I can't find it?
