Staffordshire / Walter family help
« on: Wednesday 11 October 17 19:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

My mum and I are looking into the family tree but we have both become very stuck trying to find the birth parents of one of the grandparents.  Details for my 3rd GGrandfather are:

William Walter, born around 1811 in Staffordshire.  He married an Ann Maria Flavell.  I found his dads name is William on the marriage certificate, but thats about it.

Anyway able to help?

Where does Robert come into this?

1861 census Shouldham
Mary  Sin Jay 86   (Fingay)
Sarah Buckingham 47 Lodger
Thomas 17

It would seem Stephen was ill and he was baptized August shortly before he died in October.

Robert always has Shouldham next to him on the census.

I was thinking the same as Stephen was ill and that's why he was baptised so close to his burial :(

That was all the details I had found, so no side of what church etc. I couldn't find anything so didn't know if the number would be any good to anyone to look it up.

It may be an idea to post on here details of what you are looking for

1) Marriage certificate for Thomas Buckingham and Maria Cooper - Docking - 4b 557  I am after the name of the father on the certificate, if there is any.

2) I am trying to find the dad of Robert Buckingham born 1838 in Shouldham, to a Sarah Buckingham/Buckenham.  There is no record of a baptism or birth, so I need to check the quarterly sessions or bastardy records to see if the Mum, took the dad to court to obtain child allowance

Many thanks

One is a marriage certificate to see if there is a fathers name on it, and the other is for the bastardy records/quarter sessions.  I have had no luck myself on ancestry or FindMyPast :(

Hi All

I am not local to Norfolk and was wondering if anyone is close to or goes to the Norfolk Records office?  I would like some things looked up there but I am unable to make a trip there to go myself... 

Many thanks

Thanks I see when Robert married he named his father as Robert a farmer but as you say likely that was made up.

Did the other boys marry and name a father by any chance?

Looking into it, I was wondering if when Robert got married and he put down his father as Robert Buckingham, it was his step dad Robert Ketterington... He was married two years after his mum got married to the ketterington man.  Do you think maybe he stepped in as the father for the day and they just changed his surname lol

No it is 4 years according to the burial entry so born 1848.

I wonder if he was baptised 1852 age 4?

There is a birth registrarion in Jun 1848 Downham for a Stephen Buckingham - no mothers maiden name so I think that could be him.

And just to confuse matters there is another Stephen born same place in 1847 father Richard but he goes on to marry.

The Stephen that I have is baptised 19/8/1852 in All Saints, Shouldham, Norfolk with Mum, Sarah Buckenham... It has a FHL number 2262702 (but not sure on what or where i would find that lol)
