There's an one-line report in the Northampton Mercury of 27 Nov 1942, where an application for the temporary transfer of the Blue Bell Inn, Moulton, from Clement Robertson Walker to Arthur Walker of 12 Lowlck-terrace, Moulton was granted.

There's a marriage for Arthur Walker & Margaret M Skinner Jun 1931 Brixworth RD ....

... looks as if Margaret M Walker was in fact daughter-in-law  ;)

Oh dear it's all going slightly wrong  :o it did cross my mind at the start she could be a daughter in law but if so she wouldn't be a half sister  :-\

Hmmm so who is Arthur Walker - more to the point who was his mother?

More investigating to do.

Ummmm ...

the only one that I can find that makes any sense between 1911 census and married in 1931 would appear to be Arthur Alec Walker mmn White born Taunton Mar 1914 ... and he was still there in the 1939 reg !!



ADDED

But there is also Arthur William Walker mmn White born 1907 Paddington, and an Arthur William Walker died 1957 Northampton age 49.

Yes I agree sugarbakers with the Arthur William mothers name White as an option but he wasn't with them on census was he  :-\

Bit concerned about Clement turning into Robert then back again.  Is he definitely the same person.

There's nothing to say Arthur Walker who took over the pub was a relative? Is the surname a co-incidence?

Coincidence that his wife was also Margaret M certainly possible yes. Walker is rather a common name.

"Bit concerned about Clement turning into Robert then back again.  Is he definitely the same person."

If you look up the census I/we cannot mention, you will find GHW with "Robert Walker", in Shaldon, Devon. Marriage details make interesting reading

Robertson => Robert is not a huge jump?


Early 1900's (1903-1905-ish) CRWalker had (at least 2x) business failures.
Maybe that was what prompted the "change"?
