Not sure what the relevance of that is, but Jane Calvert Walker, aged 0, mmn Calvert, died in Dundee in 1861. Another Jane Calvert Walker, mmn Calvert, was born in 1864, and died in 1866 in Tradeston. A third Jane Calvert Walker, mmn Calvert, was born in Tradeston in 1866. Tradeston is in Glasgow. Parents of all three were Joseph Walker and Jean Calvert.

Sarah Walker b 1855 in Sunderland was the daughter of John Walker and Mary Ann Calvert.


Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you again for your replies, so helpful.   I have found a James Walker on the 1881 census in Sandiacre Derbyshire aged 20, a moulder born Scotland. I am puzzled to why he gave different locations in Scotland.  I am going to continue researching with the hints you have given me.
