I'm not sure if this is solvable, but here goes.
I'm not sure whether William Walker (from census records he was born around 1797/8 in St Giles, Northampton), married Ann Abbot in Wellingborough in 1823 or Ann Sharman in Hardingstone in 1821. Would anyone be able to look up parish registers please to see if there are any more clues, such as William's parents names? Not that I have established who his parents were yet, because there are several William Walker baptisms in Northampton in 1797/8. One shows dob 27 Aug 1797, bap on 28 Aug 1797, parents John/Elizabeth. Another shows dob 28 Aug 1797, bap on 29 Oct 1797, parents John/Elizabeth. The other is bap on 22 Nov 1797, parents George/Jane.
George appears a lot in subsequent generations, which might make the last entry the most likely.
The family settled in Hardingstone, where the children were born, and William and Ann died. As far as I can tell, William and Ann's first child was Charles Walker in 1826. He was included in the 1941 census in their household, but an older child might have left home by then. The other two children were George and Elizabeth. Also in the 1941 census, both parents are shown as born in the county. In the 1951 census, William was a widower. I've found a possible Ann Walker death, age 53, in 1850 in Hardingstone. This roughly fits as in the 1941 census she was described as 40, so could have been nearer 45, and would explain just the three children.
I have found plenty of info on William/Ann's children, and their grandchildren (so please don't trouble to look up info about them) but am now stuck at William Walker senior so welcome any help.
Thanks.
