COMPLETED/CLOSED..............VIC BDM Lookups pls WALKER family late 1800s

[allycat]

Thanks Dee.  I'm supposed to be baking a zucchini slice myself - at least it's in the oven now. 

I found a couple of possible WALKERs at the NSW bdms online.  But WALKER is as common a surname as SMITH and it pays to be careful.

I've already checked for IGIs at http://www.familysearch.org also.

I'll see what my distant rellie on the WALKER line can dig up re paperwork.  He didn't know anything about our DENNER line and his WALKER/NEWBEGIN connection so I've been sharing that with him.

I'm off to see if I can find WALKER burials online.

Marriages of the children are proving hard for the common given names....with a surname like Walker there are just too many options.

However, I have found this one....entered twice.....

Sydney Lee WALKER born MELB married Louisa Sarah DADDO in 1902
Ref = 60R

Also entered as
Sydney Leo WALKER born MELB married Louisa Sarah DADDE in 1902
Ref = 60

But then we have these children born to Sydney LeeWalker and Daisy Ellen FLEGG......

Flor Brisbane WALKER born 1919 at WODONGA
Ref = 7919

Jno Henry WALKER born 1920 at WODONGA

So did Louisa Sarah die and Sydney Lee Walker remarry?

Here's the marriage of Sydney Lee Walker to Daisy......

and at last.....

Sydney Lee WALKER aged 86 died in 1959 at COBU
Father = John WALKER & Mother = Mary  LEE
Ref = 1269


So that seems to have sorted out Walter William's twin!

Gosh Dee, you have been working hard on my behalf.  THANK YOU!!!!

Question - would 'Cobu' be for Coburn or Coburg, Victoria?

Al.

[deeiluka]

I'd guess it could be either, Al.  I'm not really sure......

Thanks Dee.

I've found a few of 'my' WALKERs buried at Benalla, including Walter William Melbourne WALKER and wife Mary Anne WALKER nee DENNER, including a mystery 'Neville Fred Denner Walker' - he just has to be a relative with the name Denner stuck in there.
