Yorkshire (North Riding) / William Henry WALKER Marriage to Hannah WRIGHT
« on: Monday 26 June 17 10:37 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have a bit of a problem (Don't we all!!) I have a William Henry WALKER who was born circa 1852 at Halifax. His parents were Thomas Beresford WALKER and Charlotte BUERGIN. In looking for his marriage I came across 1). William Henry WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 2nd. Quarter 18782 at Halifax and 2). William WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 4th.Quarter 1867 at Guisborough.
I found on the 1911 census a William Henry WALKER married to Hannah and they were married for 38 years, which points to the 1872 marriage at Halifax. But there is still doubt as to which marriage is correct.
It seems too much a coincidence that two William WALKER's were married to a girl with the same name. But there again in family history there are so many anomalies and coincidences and strange goings on!!
Can anyone make sense of it? I would be very grateful for any help and suggestions.
Regards,
Margaret
