Such sad news to hear that Anne passed away.  She was a fantastic help to many people including myself.  As for her monumental inscriptions – I seem to recall that she put the MI’s into book form and donated it to the Mitchell Library several years ago so all is not lost for anyone able to get to the Mitchell when it reopens.

Found a couple of articles from the newspapers on FindMyPast for a Karl Holm.

Seamen from the Jupiter – Drunk and Disorderly near the Ferry.
  Two Scandinavian firemen of the steamer Jupiter, Karl Holm and John Tiller, were
each fined 9s and 2s 6d witness’ fees each at North Shields Police Court today for
having been drunk and disorderly in Duke Street, North Shields, at 10:40 last night.
  P.C. Simpson said they were shouting, singing and molesting people coming from
the ferry.  He repeatedly tried to get them to go to their ship, but they would not.
  Defendants, who said through an interpreter that they could not understand what
the officer said.  [Shields Daily News 29 June 1932]
......................................

A young German named Karl Holm,
an able seaman, was brought before the Poole magistrates
on Wednesday charged With having failed to report himself
within The specified time as laid down under the Aliens’ Act. 
After consultation the magistrates Decided that temporarily
he should remain in The care of Supt. Bowles, who would
communicate With the Chief Constable with the idea of the
Secretary of State being asked whether he would allow the
young man to go to Fowey (Cornwall).

Here is a transcription of the article from the Caledonian Mercury.  Good description of James.

Not sure which collection they would be in.  Family Search images are also on Ancestry.

I just sent you an email.

Guadalupe's latest post is asking how many children George and Gila had. Her previous one asked for their names.]

The 'community contributed' IGI lists four children of George J Walker and Gila Apodaca Ibarra
Isabel, born 1859
Alejandro, born 1870
Teodosa, born 1872
Jorge, born 1875
all in Aquajito Del Bajahui, Choix, Sinaloa, Mexico

Maybe someone who has access to the A*****y tree mentioned upthread could take a look and see if the information there matches the information submitted to the IGI? There seems to be quite a gap between Isabel and Alejandro.

The two younger children, Teodosa and Jorge, are in the 1930 census of Mexico, according to www.familysearch.org.


The names and births match, however, there are no sources attached.

There is a lengthy death certificate for George on Family Search and another that might be a confirmation of death of Jorge by Alejandro - all written in Spanish.  (Not sure if this info has already been mentioned as I didn't fully read all previous posts).

Chris,

Did you try St. Patrick's Catholic Cemetery in New Stevenson?
