Trying to find Walker

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find any information at all about the Walker family who originally lived at 12 Union Place, Salford in 1901. The head of the household was Henry Walker (my grandfather) and his wife was Frances Foxcroft. He had been in the army in India and she was a weaver in a mill. They had married in Manchester in February 1881 and subsequently had 5 sons, John, William, Fred (my father), Leonard and Stanley with 3 daughters Amelia, Jane and Frances. Some members of this family had children and one was called Stephanie Walker (before her marriage) and her brother was called William Walker. I last saw them about 40 years ago at one of their weddings in the Stockport/Hyde/South Manchester area. One later part of the family were concerned with newspaper distribution (or paper making) in Preston or Lancaster. If you can help me in any way to complete my family tree or to locate any living relatives of mine, then I will be most grateful. Thank you for your help, Ken Walker
