I would dearly like to correspond with any relations of the abovementioned.
   

I am seeking information from anyone with Family or personal knowledge of the Family of Herbert and Frances Emma WALKER who resided in Dewsbury.   According to the 1901 Census Herbert was a Publican residing at 18 Victoria Crescent, Dewsbury Moor.   Other members of the family included :-

         Frances Emma WALKER (nee EASTWOOD) born Halifax abt 1863
         Doris                      "       born Dewsbury abt 1885
         James E                  "         "           "           "   1867
         Edward E               "          "           "           "   1869
         Fred                       "          "           "           "    1872
         Ruth M                   "          "           "           "    1874

Herbert was born in Dewsbury abt 1861 and died 1906, also in Dewsbury.

I am particularly interested in information on James E, regarding his second Christian Name and why I cannot find him on the 1911 UK Census.

Thanking you in anticipation.

I wonder if any Rootschatter can help me solve this one.?

On the 1911 Census I have a James BROUGHTON, Merchant Seaman, aged 25 years living in a Boarding House at 7 Grove Villas, Poplar, London and he shows that he was born in Botany Bay, Northumberland.   Therefore he was born about 1886.

I am in possession of his Medal Roll for War Service during World War 1, which shows him born in Ashington, Northumberland, in 1886.   The information engraved on his Medals correspond with the Medals I have in my possession.   Also, I have a copy of one of his Crew Lists for 1914 which shows his Next-of-Kin residing at Hirst Road, Ashington, but, unfortunately, no Surname is given.

Now, I have searched BDM's and Census for a James BROUGHTON born Northumberland County in 1886 but can;t find any information.   Advice I have received from my 'close' relations here in Australia, say that he was born James WALKER and that he changed his Surname when he absconded from his home as a Lad.   

Is it possible that there may be some BROUGHTON or WALKER descendants living in Northumberland or Australia who can assist me with my search.?    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Jim, in Queensland.

I would sincerely like to make contact with any descendants of Edward and Mary A. ARKLE, who on the 1901 UK Census were residing at 35 Fifth Row, Bothal Demesne, Northumberland.   Children Thomas and George were also included on the Census.   Mary WALKER, Mother of Mary ARKLE and John WALKER, Mary's Son were on it also.    I am particularly interested in John WALKER who I believe later changed his name to James BROUGHTON.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Jim

I am seeking any members of the WILLSON Family shown on the 1911 UK Census as residing at the above address.

My reason is that James BROUGHTON a Merchant Seaman from the ship 'Corsican Prince' at about that time showed his next of kin residing at that address.

Do any of the WILLSON family recall James having lived there or having an association with any member of the Family.?

Regards, Jim
