Marriage of Andrew Walker and Mary Turner Alton 9c 271 Barnsley on BMD

[amandar]

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone could help me on the above. If this is the Andrew Gordon Walker born in Scotland in 1870. I know he moved to the area and died in 1936 in Pontefract age 66.  I found that a Andrew Walker had married Mary Turner Alton.  I would like to know if my grandmother Mary Walker born 1910 in Hemsworth born 24/08/1910 if Mary Turner Alton is her mother and the information I have found is correct.  I know that Mary Walker had three sisters, I believe Eliza, Ina and Violet.  Does any one have any details.

Would love to hear from any one who can help

Violet Walker b 1912 Hemsworth
no Ina - but a Zena Walker b 1915 Hemsworth
no Eliza - but an Annie Eliza Walker b 1908 Hemsworth
so -could Violet and(Annie )Eliza be twins ??

If Andrew was a miner then this may relate to Violet.
Born 2 July 1907
baptised 6 July 1907 Normanton, All Saints, West Yorkshire, England
parents Andrew Gordon and Mary Walker.
There is a letter P in the margin which usually denotes a private baptism because the child was ill and perhaps not expected to live.

I have found a death record on Freebmd which could be a possible but it's Doncaster so not sure
Deaths Dec 1907
WALKER Violet
 Doncaster 9c 544

I think that Glencare was meaning that 14 babies had died!
