Isaac Walker 1842-1905 (Blackley, Manchester)
« on: Thursday 19 October 17 09:33 BST (UK) »
Hi there, looking for any information or photographs of Isaac Walker (my 3rd great grandfather) He was born in Blackley, Manchester in 1842 and was the owner of a cream/milk production business. I have the census information of the places he lived. Any help would be much appreciated. Steve

If he is the one in Red Bank in 1880/81 there are three newspaper reports of milk supplied to him by farmers being tested and found to have been containing water.  The farmers were the ones that were penalised.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

The reports are in the newspaper collection of the British Library which I can access via Findmypast.  A link won't work unless you have a sub to that site.

Suggest you either take out a sub (you can get credits for £6.95) or see if your local library has a library sub to the British Library newspapers or FindMyPast.  There were two reports in the Manchester Times (one was duplicated in the Courier) 13 March 1880 and 3 December 1881.

That is great thank you, I have taken out a sub on Find My Past and seen the articles  :)  I don't suppose there were business directories back then was there?
