Hello Tazzie

I have been having fun digesting all the information you have provided on the Walkers and trying to follow up a few points.  Thanks for all your work!

Re Owen Walker.  He has turned up in the 1871 census aged 5!  Perhaps he was farmed out to one of the relatives to look after.  (Assuming his 1901 age is wrong.) 

I found my g-g-grandfather, Richard Hanson, living with Maria and Joseph in 1871.

Have you got any further details on Joseph’s death?  Was he buried at Chearsley and if so when?  (The year you gave must be a mistype.)

Regards Rodney

Hi Tazzie (& Julie)

I have been following your investigations with great interest.   

The second marriage of Thomas Hanson I was initially interested in occurred between 1871 and 1881 (to Sarah, born circa 1815 at Roxham).

I was wondering what happened to Maria & Joseph Walker.  They had a daughter, Elizabeth, circa 1860.  Do you have any information after that?

I would also be interested in what happened to Thomas and Hannah Hanson’s other children: Mary (born c1835), John (born c1837 and single and living at home in 1881), Elizabeth (born c1840), Thomas (born c1842 and widowed and living with his father in 1881), and James (born c1847).  Hopefully the records won’t be as confusing for this period!

Take your time in replying.

Rodney.

Thanks ever so much for your prompt reply.  I am thrilled with the information you sent.  I assume it all came from the records for the Parish Church of St Nicholas and that they are the actual dates for the baptisms, except where indicated otherwise.

I understand that Hannah Hanson (until your message I didn't know her name!) may have died when Richard was very young.  Is there a record of her death/burial?

Rodney

I am from the A.C.T.  I will get back to you on your other question in a few days.
