How can I progress this family?
I've asked about them before, but haven't managed to get anywhere, so has anyone got any ideas?
1871 Census, Leeds ref RG10, Piece 4533, Folio 12, Page 17
Family by the name of Walker
Head - Thomas, wife Ellen
Children - John (20), Edward (12), Arthur (10), Harry (7) & Charles (2)
All except Charles were born in Hull. Charles was born in Leeds.
I have his birth certificate - mother Ellen Walker, formerly Smith.
Ellen died in 1877, and I have Thomas and the boys on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.
Thomas' age is consistent throughout - 42 in 1871, 52 in 1881, 62 in 1891 & 72 in 1901.
So the problem is that I can find no trace of this family prior to Charles birth in Leeds in 1868.
I've sent for all the obvious birth certificates with no joy and cannot find a marriage for Thomas & Ellen.
Help, please.
Thanks for looking
