Find Ancestors

I am trying to find Albert Walton's birth certificate. I think he was born in the 1880s in Hammersmith, London. He served with the Australian Army in WW1 and married Ada Tildesley in 1922 in Sydney, NSW and died on Sept. 24, 1957 in Auburn, NSW. I think his mother was Emily Shaw and his father was John Walton. I have a letter from his mother to the Australian Defence Services written in 1917 and she was then living in Princes Park, Liverpool.

PM received

His birth date is unknown by his living children. I am quite sure his mother was Emily. Will check out the birth in 1897 but I think it may be wrong as he stated on his enlistment papers with the Australian Army in 1916 that he had served 7 years with "R.H. Artillery" plus he also claims to be 33 years of age as well. His age is proving to be confusing.

I belive John was born in October 1841 son of Thomas Walton and Elizabeth nee Lancaster was was a cousin to my own Great-Grandfather Edward Walton (1842-1931).

John moved to the Liverpool area and Emily originated from Cheshire and was a baker by occupation, I had no idea he had a son however John appears to have pre deceased Emily.

The couple also had a daughter who married and I belive died in Liverpool circa 1917.

I have read the transcript of the trial of John and Emily Walton and was astonished by the contents, Alfred Armstrong Walton died at Oberstein Road on 7 March 1883.

In his will he left money to his nephews and neices, John Walton received the same as my Great-Grandfather and 36 others, until today I knew nothing of this trial.

John Walton had sisters Annie, Hannah, Elizabeth, brothers Thomas and Robert,
in the trial transcript it quoted John visiting Hexham he would be at his Mother's at Hencotes in west Hexham.

Almost certain Albert Edward Thomas Walton was born 30 October 1886 in Middlesex London exact place unknown Hammersmith, Peckham or Clapham.

Born as Alfred John Walton was in the Navy from 1901 - 1904 in 1911 he was by then in the Army as stationed in Leeds, later transferd ot the South Lancs from which he deserted, under his new name enlisted in AIF 4 Feb 1916 served in France and was for some time stationed in England with various medical problems.

Returned to Australia discharged unfit for service August 1919, Mother Emily died at Wandsworth in 1921, Albert married in 1922 had 4 children with Ada Tildersley she died in 1949.

Albert married again in 1953 to Elsie Margaret Stewart 1905 - 1987, Albert died 1957.
