Hello All

I'm researching my Walker family line and I have come to a bit of a stop. I have traced the line back to Eakring and Normanton on Trent but cannot seem to get any further back from there.  My line is as follows:

Grand father - Cyril Albert b1904(5) Nottingham Lived with Rose Alice Kirk (nee Potter)
1x Ggf - Albert Edward b1878(79), Nottingham. Married Lenora Mary Williamson
2x Ggf - Luke b1848, Eakring. Married Sarah Woodward
3x Ggf - George b1800, Eakring. Married Mary Ancliffe/Hancliff (surname unclear on records)
4x Ggf - John b1759, Eakring. Married Mary Richards
5x Ggf - William b1737, Weston (but believe lived in Eakring). Married Ellen Hurt
6x Ggf - Richard b1682 Normanton on Trent. Married Ruth Shepherd (nee Wright)
7x Ggf - Richard b1649 Normanton on Trent. Married Elizabeth Hind(e)

I have read here on Roots chat a few other 'Walker of Eakring' lines which have helped me to confirm my line up to 5x William.  However, I was wondering if anyone could help me trace the line back further from 7x Richard? Did my 8x great grandfather come from Normanton on Trent or surrounding areas/further afield? Does any on my line still live in Eakring?

Thank you and best wishes

Hello

This is a real shot in the dark but I was wondering if anyone could help me please? I'm looking into my great granddads maternal line - Logan. His mother was Ester Logan (b1893) and married Thomas Thompson. I have been able to trace back the line possibly to 10x GG. However, there is some information I am really struggling to confirm before I go any further.  So far I have: 7x GG Alexander Logan (b1739 - Berwickshire). I believe he is the son of Alexander Logan 8x GG (b1714 - Lauder, Berwickshire) and possible grandson of George Logan 9 x GG (b1678) moderator of Church of Scotland.  Below are the questions I have and if anyone could help I would be very grateful as I have exhausted all possible search options:

1) Did Alexander Logan 7x (b1739) have 3 siblings: James (b1758), Elizabeth (b1761) and Mary (b1753)?
2) Alexander Logan 8x (b1714) - Did he marry Elisabeth Smith and if so when/where?
3) Alexander Logan 8x (b1714) - When did he die? I have noted 1786 in Whitsome, Berwickshire but unable to confirm
4) Was Alexander Logan 8x (b1714) ever a soldier? If so, this might explain the age gaps of the children listed above.
5) George Logan 10x (b1638), (grandfather to Alexander (b1714)) I have noted he died 1670 but his son George Jr 9x (moderator of CoS) was born 1678? Could it be possible that the date of death is incorrect/mis-transcribed in the search resource e.g. Find my past etc? If so, is there a correct date recorded anywhere?

Thank you in advance

Best Wishes
Sarah
