John Walker (born about 1834 in Swansea).
Married Jane James (born about 1839 in Swansea).
Married 26/11/1858 Swansea, St James.

No other information known until birth of first child in 1860s.

Somehow they ended up in Belfast where they raised a family, worked and died.

Any information greatly appreciated.

How sure are you about John's birth? I've not found any trace so far apart from the marriage.

Oops! A silly mistype. 1834 is incorrect sorry.
John Walker Born about 1824.
Died age 63 on 15/9/1887 in Belfast.
Was a publican and oyster room keeper, shellfish merchant and spirit dealer.
3 children born in Belfast.
Have not been able to find other children’s births or infant deaths.

A relative has the Walker paperwork. The relative is currently on holiday. So I’m not sure how we thought he was born in Swansea.
