These could certainly be William's parents and siblings! From memory we haven't gone back beyond the basics of William and Harriet's marriage (I need to check on my other computer) as our original intentions lay more toward the emigration side of things, but I am pretty sure this is all new information - so again, great, and thanks for taking all this trouble!
Basically, I took this over from my cousin many years ago (who only had the very raw basics), and never went this far back as we didn't have the facilities back then. It's only these past two days I have started back into all this, after several years.
How lucky we are these days!

Going back to see if I could find anything on "Arthur Walker" you mentioned earlier.

There is a possible death in Woolwich for Caroline Walker - aged 73 years - 1d 571

Re the mystery Arthur....
My cousin found an Arthur Walker, aged 25, nationality English arriving in Quebec, Canada on 31 May 1925 aboard Canadian Pacific Line SS Duchess of Athol. 
There were references for looking it up in the National Archives of Canada, but not on line - or at least, not at the time. 
No other details so we couldn't tell if it is of interest or not.
Right age, but it could be anyone.

Yes, I heard about the GRO site just recently.
I will ring my cousin tomorrow and ask her what she can remember regarding the mystery Arthur - bearing in mind how long ago it was I'm not sure what she will come up with, but it's worth a shot.
I think, in reality, she may have got things mixed up - although she was adamant at the time that there was an Arthur who went to Canada, so who knows.

I have to close shortly, so I will leave that with you to ponder over if you feel inclined.
Thank you again for all your trouble today, I hope i haven't kept you from anything important!

Message for Sandra...
Hi again Sandra, sorry to bother you again but I am trying to find my way around some of the links you sent me - basically, so I can find things myself without having to ask all the time!
Could you possibly tell me where you found the Naturalization info - was it within the FamilySearch (USA) link you sent me?
Also, the Boarder Crossing bits; I would like to see the originals etc, and hopefully from there I can look to see if there are any more bits of interest.
Thanks, Pete
