Russell ...its got to be a BOY ...only lads keep ya waiting !!! Soz ! LoL ..thinking about all 3 of you. Good Luck and Congratulations for when baby arrives ! X Elaine :-)

Hi Sue, have you come back down to earth yet? Someone found me Adam Allinson a long time ago, in Sheffield in 1841. With the family was an unknown female 14 days old. Have looked on 1837online and the only one that fits was called Ann, so have taken the plunge! Only problem is, I have sent straight to Sheffield Registrar, but have just seen on the news yesterday that the register office there has been knocked down, typical! Hope I don't have too long to wait. Maggy

Congratulations Sue! You and I both know how elusive those Walkers are. Like you, I have had some success. A very kind person has found the birth for Joseph Benjamin Walker so now I can start to find him on the 1841 and 1851 censuses. At least we now know they really were born and not just the figment of someones imagination!! LOL

hi russell [sorry - typing slow cos still grinning . lol]you know the problem ! jessica told me she loves being pregnant ! could be ages yet - i think its a ............. baby ! alan and i are not in agreement- he thought it was a girl- i still think a boy ! i know she was rather {!} large last time we saw her! let me know straight away- then we can go to the pub again. lol. elaine- order a tanker of the ' girls wanna have.... first baby - big p... drink. lol. maggy- did it really get knocked down ? how ? mind you- our shop in holmfirth got knocked down by a lorry full of alive chickens !so anything is possible ! teresa- why is it - every page you look on - there are a family of walkers ! i also have booths ! and sykes ! and thompsons ! i havnt even mentioned smiths- cos i really believe there are more walkers than smiths ! lol. sue still a very happy bunny- and sally - you are wonderfull ! sue.
