  • the Walker family 1911 census look up please

    good morning....now that the 1911 census is available I might be able to solve a little problem...
    my nan was
    Martha Walker b 1894 in Broadbottom..her parents were
    Robert walker b 1864 Mottram and Zipporah Williamson b 1876 Hayfield
    now the query....

    I have as my nans siblings Vera(Veronica ? ) Walker b abt 1901 and James Walker b abt 1903( 7 yrs between Martha and Vera..may be some siblings missing)Just checking my notes I don`t think I have Robert / Zipporah / Martha on the 1901 census either....

    I don`t know where Vera and James were born ..it might be Garston.....I remember my uncle Jim fondly...he died down in Bexhill on Sea abt 1964....
    so could someone see if they can find this family in the 1911 census please.....I would appreciate it...cheers...allan;)

        It really is very difficult to search the 1911 census for free!

        If I search for Robert Walker born 1864 +/- 2 years Cheshire, then I get two returns:
        WALKER ROBERT born c 1863 living in Chester Cheshire
        WALKER ROBERT born c 1864 living in West Derby Lancashire

        You then need to turn your results around and see if you can find anyone living in Chester or West Derby who has a Robert Walker living in the same household - but with such a common name you end up with too many returns.

        Do you think the family are more likely to be found in Cheshire or Lancashire?

        What do you know about Zipporah - thought I would try her as it is a more unusual name but she is not showing up very easily. Was she still alive at the time?

          I would think it would be West Derby...that`s our Register Office here in Garston...my dad and his mates always spoke of Zipporah( my dads nan) and my dad wasn`t born until 1926 so I am presuming she was alive in the war years.....39-45.....but not definite......allan
          added...sometimes her name was spelt Zepporah ...don`t know whether that would matter....allan

              Sorry Allan, not having much luck with this.

              I've done a search for
              Z Walker born c1876 +/- 5 years - anywhere in the country - and the only results are:

              WALKER ZILLA c 1875 living in Eastbourne Sussex
              WALKER ZILLAH c 1874 living in Brixworth Northamptonshire
              WALKER ZIMON c 1878 living in Leigh Lancashire
              WALKER ZORA F c 1880 living in Epsom Surrey

              ... none of which look to be of any use!

                There is a Martha Walker born c1894 Broadbottom, living in the Ashton under Lynde district in 1911

                - but I can't tie her in with any other of the family so she may be 'in service'
