Doesn't quite look the same as this family does it  ???


1881 census 17 Queensberry Place Roxburghshire.

Willm Daykins Age 45
Janet Daykins Age 43
Margt Daykins Age 23
Wilhelmina Daykins Age 21
James Daykins Age 19
Walter Daykins Age 17
Mary Daykins Age 14
Catherine Daykins Age 11
Helen Daykins Age 9
Eliz Daykins Age 6
Anne Daykins Age 1
David Douglas Age 3

James Daykins - 19 December 1861 - Wilton Roxburghshire Scotland - passed away February 1949 Leicester.  3 a 801

James had a son Walter Daykins born 29 October 1903 - Leicestershire married Lucy Marjorie Gillard in 1929. (both deceased)

This couple had 3 possible daughters born (Sheila) June 1930 Leicester. daughter born March 1940 Leicester. daughter born March 1949 Blaby.  ???

Sheila married Frederick Henry Coleman (now deceased) - Blaby - 3a 1337 - 1949
There is a Coleman - Gillard male birth in March 1953 Bristol - 7b 7.. which might be worth a look.

Hi Sandra, thanks for your reply, You have the correct family here, Walter Daykins age 17yrs,
His Brother James moved to Leicester.

 I was hoping Walter may have married and had children but it doesn't look like it.

Walter and James Daykins father William(1836-1900) was the cousin of John Daykins(1854-1924) This John Daykins was the father of Sgt John B Daykins.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you,

his relative Sgt John Brunton Daykins,VC,MM. of Jedburgh Scotland to be commemorated in Jedburgh later this month.

What relation was he to Walter?

Cheers Janette

Hi Janette, thanks for your info, Sgt John B Daykins father was John Daykins (1854_1924), this John and Walters father William (1836-1900) were cousins, I was hoping to find a marriage or children for Walter but looks like he was single , thank you.

Cousin seemed to be the option  ;) Great that a family member was found.  ;)
