Samuel WALKER buried Hull, York 1827

[Tgapitbull]

FamilySearch shows that a Samuel Walker was buried on 22 April 1827, Hull (Holy Trinity?), York, England.  A fellow researcher has told me that this Samuel was 27 years of age (source not known) but could not provide any additional information, ie occupation.

There is also a marriage for a Samuel Walker (b c1799) who married Mary SALTWELL on 28 September 1820 at Sculcoates.  I do know that this Samuel was a Mariner from the parish marriage record.

Samuel and Mary had two children, William born in 1820 (married Helen/Ellen SPENCELY 1842) and Harriet born in 1825 (married Daniel LISSETER in 1850).  Mary Walker nee Saltwell remarried to a William HARRISON in 1828.  Mary died in 1876 and was buried at Sculcoates on 6 April age 73 years.

Is the Samuel Walker who was buried in 1827 a Mariner, as this would help to determine whether they are the same person?

Any assistance appreciated.

Samuel Walker's burial record is on F M P but sadly the image gives no occupation - just his age and residence - Hull

Thanks Kay for checking.

I wonder if there is a headstone in the cemetery, whether it might give additional information - if this still exists?

It's possible that an occupation might be listed on his headstone, but having photographed lots of headstones for my own tree I would say that it's  unlikely. I've yet to find any stone that mentions an occupation.

The graves and headstones in the burial ground will be moved at some point in the near future due to road improvements.

Thanks Keeperofthematrix for your posting.
The first link no longer has information, however the second link makes very interesting reading.
If there was a headstone and it still exists it may provide the details of his wife and any children?
I shall keep looking.
Cheers

I work in Hull city centre but have quite a full schedule between now and Easter.

I have a monthly lunch with friends on the first Tuesday of each month and the venue is quite close to the hull history centre. I can pop in and check the memorial inscription booklets on Tuesday 3 April if you'd like.

I think there is quite an active history group based at Holy Trinity - at least there was when I visited some years ago and they were very eager to help with research.

It may be worth googling and then emailing your query in the hope that someone might help.
