Thank you. Father William Walker, 1818- ?. Born in Cranworth, Norfolk, England. Wife Matilda, Born 1820, Caston, Norfolk, England. They had a son named William H Walker, born 1847 or 1851, Caston, Norfolk, England. William H is my Grandfather's Father. William served with the Earl of Ulster's 97th Regiment of Foot in the 1870's, was stationed in Canada, married a Canadian woman (Sarah Ellen Brigley) and settled down in Canada. It's the English Branch of my family I'm having difficulty with. Thank you so much for any assistance. Don
