Margaret (Madge) M. Walker - Northampton
« on: Thursday 20 April 17 14:52 BST (UK) »
Good day everyone,

I have searched high and low for years, and just cannot seem to find the birth date and mothers name of Margaret M. Walker. I would really appreciate any help offered.

I know she was born after 1912.

Her father was Clement Robertson Walker b. 1877, Devon and d. 1952, Northampton. Margaret is registered on the death certificate as the informant, living in Moulton, Northampton.

I know she was married to Edward (Ted) Fleetwood in 1989 in Northampton and he passed away in 2001 in Northampton.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

Hi Milliepede,

I don't have an age when she got married - I think her husband was 89 yrs!

I can't find a marriage of her father to her mother...I have searched everywhere.

The below is her father, marrying his first wife. I know they had a daughter, Vera. He them seems to have been involved with my great grandmother, Hilda, and went by the name Robert. They had a son, my grandfather, Raymond.

Madge is Ray's half sister.

Unusual having a father but not a mother isn't it.  How do you know he was her father just from her being the informant when he died?

It states on his death certificate that the informant, Margaret, was his daughter.

I met her once and was told she was my grandfathers half sister.

As I understand, Florence remarried. I think it was a different Florence that died at 24 years, but I can't be sure...

My grandfather didn't know much about his father at all.

Yes you're right I removed the bit about Florence.  She and her daughter are together after the death I posted sorry.

So Hilda wasn't the mother of Margaret either?  Do you know when they parted ways, I take it Margaret was born some time after the other two - need an age for her really or area she was born  :-\

Her death will give an approximate age so we could go backwards from there.
