Thomas Walker and Rebecca

[Jopeg]

This is a little vague I am sorry.

Thomas Walker was born about 1791 (going by 1841 census so round by five years).

He had several children with Rebecca including:

Rebecca Walker christening:   21 January 1820   Elm, Cambridge, England
George Walker christening:   16 October 1814   Elm, Cambridge, England
James Walker christening:   12 January 1817   Elm, Cambridge, England
Thomas Walker christening:   10 June 1823   Elm, Cambridge, England

I am trying to find his marriage to Rebecca.

He later married an Elizabeth Harrison in Wisbech in 1840.

Is Thomas the 60 year old carpenter in Elm in 1851? Born Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire.
Possibility, a marriage at Crowland, Lincs, 10 October 1811

I would have said definitely no, but...

I have a DNA match on that line that makes no sense, but goes back to a marriage in Lincolnshire of an Edward Hoy to an Elizabeth Fish.

I'll look at the carpenter in Elm, thought he died before then, any children listed?

Quite a few children, including son Thomas Walker, 27, born Elm. Others born Emneth, Norfolk.
1851

That is him, I had thought he was dead, glad I didn't purchase his death certificate.

Thanks so much!

Well if your Thomas married Elizabeth Harrison in 1840 it looks good, as there is Mary Harrison, 14, in the household.
But!
Son, John Walker, 15, born Emneth
There's a baptism for John Thornton Walker there, 8 Nov 1835. Parents Thomas + Ann. Father a Carpenter.
So could Thomas have been married three times?
