Arthur walker born about 1920
« on: Wednesday 03 March 21 22:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi I need help please.
I found out my nan had a brother called Arthur walker born about 1920 in Birmingham England he's mother was ada Byfield and father was George Herbert walker they are buried in Brentford Ealing.
He had 5 sisters and one brother.
I believe he married to a Florence A porter April 1938.
According to ancestry 3rd September 1939 apparently he served in Australian military during world war two.
And also 8th of February 1942 Arthur walker fought in World War two during the fall of Singapore.
And apparently 13th November 1945 he left England to San pedra california and that's where I hit a dead end as I can't find when he died so please help me.
Thank you

Arthur E Walker married Florence A Porter in 1938

1939 register indicates that his birth was 1907 so he doesn’t look to be your Arthur.

Are you getting your information from somebody else's tree?

If so - the info about his marriage is incorrect which casts doubt on other info.

Can you post the links to that info please?  How did you identify those entries as your Arthur Walker?  Do they name his parents etc?

Have you read reply 1 re marriage?

Births June qtr 1920   
Walker    Arthur    Byfield    Birmingham    6d   514

Have you checked the 1939 register?

Have you checked whether he died in WW2?

www.cwgc.org

There are at least 3 Arthur Walker deaths which fit a June qtr birth registration plus 3 others who died pre 1969 which was when birthdates appeared on death certs.  You would need to establish his exact birthdate to determine if he is one of them
1999 Wolverhampton
1995 Derbyshire
1993 Manchester
1942 Westminster birthyear 1920
1938 Durham         ditto
1924 Greenwich      ditto
2001 Yorkshire       ditto
2008 Cardiff           ditto

Hi for the past year I keep coming across Arthur Edward Michael walker and I just don't no if its the same person in my family tree.
But it's next of kin is my great auntie violet walker.
I have also tried contacting someone who lived in the USA as they knew when my great nan ada Byfield and George Herbert walker lived and died info but I had no luck in getting in touch with the trea owner as I just wanted to know when Arthur walker died.

Neither of the 2 records you mention for Arthur is your man!

The Australian army man was an Arthur Edward Michael Walker born 17/12/1921 and the one arriving California was an Arthur T. Walker born 1919 Sept.qtr.

Your Arthur was a plain Arthur birth registered June quarter 1920 - mmn Byfield.   So birthday is going to be in the first half of 1920 (probably between March and June).
