Hi, from England.
I am hoping to find someone linked to the WALKER family of Jacksonville, Florida, and Sharpsburg, Georgia.
William and Harriet WALKER emigrated from England to Jacksonville, Florida in 1919.
The 1920/30/40 census all show them at: Precinct 28, Hogan, Duval, Jacksonville, Florida.
The men of the family were Machinists in the Jacksonville Shipyards, with records up to 1988.
In 2001, a later generation moved to Sharpsburg, Georgia (details further below).
Family of William = Harriet WALKER.
William WALKER b.1871 m. Harriet WALKER (nee LUDLOW) b.1870 (both born England)
George William (son) b.1895, Woolwich, England
George William WALKER (b.1895) m. Margaret E. (b.1895, Ireland).
They had 4 children that I know of:
James A. b.1922 Duval
Georgina M. b.1924 Duval (m. Griswold SPARKS)
Francis William b.1925
George T. b.1930 Duval
Francis William WALKER (b.1925) m. Dorothy M. CROOK 1943, Baker County, Florida.
[Moved to Sharpsburg, Georgia in 2001].
They had 4 children that I know of:
William Brian (died before his father)
F. (dau)
C.J. (dau)
W. (son)
Francis William and Dorothy WALKER moved to Sharpsburg, GA. in 2001 to be close to their family, so it would appear someone had previously moved there from the original family home in Jacksonville, Florida.
Francis William WALKER died in Sharpsburg in 2014.
He was known as 'Bill', and 'Poppie' to his grandchildren.
Much of what I have found regarding Francis William and Dorothy WALKER came from an Obituary I was fortunate enough to find for Francis William WALKER in Peachtree City, GA.
This is about all I have, so any help or suggestions to find a living relative would be appreciated.
With thanks,
Pete Fisk
