If James' brother Richard is the same one mentioned in an article, it would help seal the Wrench in the works  ::) :

Oxford Journal 17 November 1877
Death Notice.
Nov 6, at Ventnor, Forester Wrench Walker, son of the late Rev. Richard Walker, Seathwaite, Lancashire

Forester is also in the Oxford Alumni book previously discussed.

Regarding post #29, the verdict, based on the Oxford Alumni book and obit for Richard, is, yes, that is James brother who gave son Forester the middle name of Wrench, and died at Seathforthe.

So now I want to know how father Robert, who couldn't sign his name on his marriage, put all those sons through college......

He signed !

So he did!  I saw the "x mark" right under his name, but now I see that was for Sarah.

This is why I should get glasses.  ::)
