Marriages of Lincolnshire Lad & two Lassies

[Spatts]

Hi Guys,

Struggling to find 3 marriages so I can look them up on censuses.

Info:-

Parents:-
Joseph Walker b1834 @ 12, ST. Benedicts Lane, Lincoln, Lincs.
Eliza Walker nee Kirk b1841, Newport, Lincoln, Lincs.
Got married in Sheffield, Yorks for some reason and returned to
5, South Witham Bank, Lincoln, Lincs.

Son William Walker b1861, Sheffield, Yorks, returned with parents to 5, South Witham Bank, Married

Jane E. Walker b1864 @ 5, South Witham Bank, Married

Emma Walker b1866 @ 5, South Witham Bank, Married

Tried to track William, may have been in lodgings in Lincoln when parents moved to Manchester with 4 other brothers, could have joined the army??

Any help appreciated,

Spatts.

What is the last census entry you have for each of them?  Where were they living at that time

Tried to track William, may have been in lodgings in Lincoln when parents moved to Manchester

When was the move to Manchester

As you will already know from any search on freebmd - there are numerous marriage entries for each of these names so you need to narrow your search by using the county in which they were living on the last census found.

Have you already discounted the Emma Walker marriage in Lincs in 1886?

The family are still in Lincoln in 1871.
Reference RG10, Piece 3371, Folio 64, Page 5
Witham Bank, Lincoln

Walker, Joseph  Head  M  34  Labourer  b Lincoln
Walker, Eliza  Wife  F  30  b Lincoln
Walker, William  Son  M  10  b Sheffield, Yorkshire
Walker, Jane E  Daughter  F  7  b Lincoln
Walker, Emma  Daughter  F  5  b Lincoln
Walker, Harry  Son  M  1month  b Lincoln


In 1881, William is a Navvy, on the railways?
Reference RG11, Piece 3241, Folio 21, Page 35
9 George Street, Lincoln

Green, George  Head  M  26  Excavator on Railway, Navvy  b Selby, Yorks.
+ wife, 3 children & neice
Walker, William  Lodger  M  20  Excavator on Railway, Navvy  b Sheffield, Yorkshire

The rest of the family are in Manchester:
Reference RG11, 3908, 115, 21
6 Ernest Street, Gorton

Walker, Joseph  Head  M  46  Carter  b Lincoln
Walker, Eliza  Wife  F  40  b Lincoln
Walker, Emma  Daughter  F  15  Scholar  b Lincoln
Walker, Harry  Son  M  11  Scholar  b Lincoln
Walker, Arthur  Son  M  9  b Lincoln
Walker, Joseph  Son  Scholar  b West Gorton, Lancashire
Walker, James  Son  M  1  b West Gorton

So, the family moved to Lancashire after the birth of Arthur in 1872, and before the birth of Joseph in 1875?


Jane is also in Gorton:
Reference RG11, 3905, 70, 13
Crossley, William  Head  54  Pawnbroker  b Todmorden, Yorks.
+ wife & daughter
Walker, Jane Elizabeth  Servant  F  17  Domestic Servant  b Lincoln

[KGarrad]

For Jane, I searched the 1891 census for any Jane, born 1864 in Lincoln.
I reckoned she would probably still be living in, or near, Manchester.

So this marriage seems to fit?
December qtr 1882
Chorlton district (which covers Gorton)   Vol 8c, Page 1096

Walker, Jane
Stabler, Samuel Joseph

And the census:
Reference RG12, 3230, 119, 27
1 School Court, Manchester

Stabler, Samuel  Head  M  31  General Labourer  b Manchester
Stabler, Jane  Wife  F  27  b Lincoln
Stabler, Annie  Daughter  F  7
Stabler, Samuel J  Son  M  6
Stabler, Phoebe  Daughter  F  3
Stabler, William  Son  M  2
Stabler, Harry  Son  M  6months     all children born Manchester

There is another possibility for Jane, in Ashton Under Lyne?
Jane Williams, age 28, married to Enoch of North Wales

Hi Carole, 

Walker is such a common name, it has been hard to judge if I had the right person when finding similar names in the County of search. Thank you for your interest in my search, it is appreciated.

Regards,

Spatts.

Hi KGarrad,

Thank you so much for all the information you have found, it has been a great help & I have noted it all down, will also have a look at some of the censuses & save them.

The Jane who married Samuel J. Stabler seems to be a very good bet, as the family moved to Gorton & later to Ardwick down the road.

Thank you for all your help, much appreciated.

Regards,

Spatts.

Hi Geoff,

Hope your well.

Just going to check out the 1881 census, KGarrad has Emma as being with family at 6, Ernest st, Gorton, Lancs. Unless Emma returned to Lincoln??

I'll come back when I've had a look.

Cheers Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

yes, Emma is with family in Gorton on the 1881 census, Father:- Joseph Walker, Mother:- Eliza Walker nee Kirk.

The marriage on the link has James as the father, so I would imagine Emma would have got married in or around Manchester, probably Gorton, Chorlton or Ardwick, Hmmm.
