Chipping Campden; William Walker and Mary Petford(could also be Pilford) 1600's

[jbnorris73]

I am looking for information on William Walker (b. 1607) and Mary Petford(b.1612) in or near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. They were married on 29 Nov 1632 and had children. I can only find a marriage listed for them. I am looking for the Parents of William Walker. My Father in law is a descendant of William Walker. I have looked on every site I can think of and had no luck.

Any tidbit of info would be greatly appreciated.

Had a quick look for a Peter WALKER in Chipping Campden and Barrington

and for Chipping Campden and Barrington

Peter WALKER labourer, A40 - lower stature

which means he was aged about 40 - and of lower stature

and a Thomas WALKER A40 husbandman - Tallest Stature  (fit to make a Pikeman)  ****

If you look at the Help Page: as Peter was of lower stature - he was 'fit to serve with a caliver'

also at Chipping Campden and Barrington

Thomas WARTER - A60 - Carpenter


*** as family names usually play an important part, William had two sons named Thomas
