Walker family from Wynbunbury 1900

[Louise Tallon]

Hello,

I am new to this so I hope I have posted in the correct place.

My Great Grandfather was Frank Walker.  As far as I can tell he was born in Wynbunbury around 1897.

His parents were George Walker and Mary Ann Knapper. 

I only have the bare details and I was wondering if anybody could advise me on ways to gain more information.

I know that the family moved from Wynbunbury around the turn of the century.  My part of the family settled in Stockport and other parts of the family went to Northwich and possibly Winsford. I am looking to flesh out the information I have and also try to find out why the Walkers moved after living in Wynbunbury for a few generations
