Hi Everybody,
Can anybody help me trace my Aunt Margaret Walker's marriage in Sheffield in 1946 to Harry Cox? That's the only info I have.

Hi Cath,
I gave you the wrong James! All I have on your James is:
"James b. 27 July 1883 when his father, George was designed as a “flesher”. By 1891 census he & his family were at 4 Nicholson Place & by 1901 census James was said to be an apprentice gardener. 1911 census has him as a recovering soldier in a local lunatic asylum! He m. Mary Mathieson & d.7April 1941 aged 57 at Warrinston Crescent, Glasgow".
If you send me your email address I'll give you what I have on the rest of the family! You've got a bit of reading to do! I'm in Edinburgh, a grandson of Mary Walker...sister of your above James.

Hi Cath,
I have little on your Grand-da James Walker beyond the following. I lost him after Forres & could only spot "another" James in Edinburgh! Looks like it wasn't the right one so any confirmation on his family would be appreciated:
"James b.at Moss-side, Rafford on 28 March & baptised 2 May 1850. 1861 census has him aged 11 at Woodside with his mother Helen & other siblings. Helen, 44 was on the Poor Rates! By 1871 who I think is our James was at 178 High Street, Forres with the Kynoch family where he is designed as an unmarried 21 year old shopman from Rafford. 1881 census has a James Walker (?) at Newington Edinburgh working as a commercial traveller with a wife Agnes & daughter Agnes, 4 & son George, 1. By 1891 census he, trading as a bookmaker, is at 24 Polwarth Crescent with children James, 9; Rose, 7; & Thomas, 3. By 1901 they’re at 52 Polwarth Gardens but with no Thomas but new daughter Margarette. James is a master bookmaker. By 1911 James, 62, is alone at 98 Morrison Street".

Hi Cath,
I'll leave Rainne to fill you in on the Walkers. She has what I have. My Granny was Mary Walker, sister of your Grandfather James Walker. Come back to me if unable to connect up with Rainne.

Moray (Elginshire) / Re: Walker Robb and Whyntie, Moray and Banff
« on: Sunday 30 August 15 11:52 BST (UK) »Hi Romaniuk,
"Margaret (“Maggie” or “Meg”) b. 3 June 1885 at Briar Cottage, Forres. By 1891 census, she was listed aged 5 with her family at 4 Nicholson Place, Forres. By 1901 census she was at Clovenside with them. She d. 7 June 1971 aged 86".
That's all I have on Maggie from which you'll see that Briar Cottage was in Forres where most of the wider Walker family were then based. I have a fair amount on the earlier Walkers going back to Rafford etc should you want it.

Hi Alistair,
You'll see from earlier posts my wife's Swan link. The only data I presently have on "James" is as undernoted. You see that John had 2 sons both called "James" but the elder died young but typically they called a younger son "James" too. I have some earlier material should you wish it:
John (4) m. Janet Hislop (b 28 Jan’ & baptised 2 May 1764 in Liberton Kirk to George Hislop & Elizabeth Hewet) on 27 Dec 1793 at Liberton & had sons born in Liberton:
a) George (5) b. 30 Oct & baptised 16 Nov 1794 in Liberton; d 8 Dec 1870 in 25 New St. Edinburgh.
b) Francis b. 24 May & baptised 5 June 1796 in Liberton; m Marion Gordon on 16 Aug 1815 at Canongate when he was 19; d 17 July 1865 in Cockpen, Midlothian aged 69.
c) John b. Stonehouse, Liberton on 2 Jan & baptised 14 Jan 1798;
d) James b. 29 June 1800; m Jean Falconer on 9 Jan 1818 in Liberton.
e) Walter b. 8 July 1803 in Liberton; m Catherine Gilchrist on 19 Feb 1830 at Liberton.
f ) James b.c. 1804 in Liberton; d. 23 Feb 1882 in Ednam, Roxburgh.

I am a direct relative of George Walker & Mary Robb of Clovenside, Forres. If interested in the Walker side of things, I can give you my tree starting:
"On 9 Sept’ 1881 at 61 High Street, Forres, George Walker, 24, a batchelor & cattle salesman’s assistant, m. Mary Robb, 25, (b. in Fordyce on 18 June 1856.) a domestic servant spinster of the said 61 High Street, Forres. Mary d. at Clovenside, Forres on 18 Jan’ 1908 aged 51".
I am the grandson of their daughter Mary Walker also b at Clovenside & who lived to 100!
