from the 1881, his wife mary[ nee fletcher, then hepplestone- she was a widow when she married william] was dau of george fletcher. on 1881 they had 3 children, ellen ann[my gr grandma, ] have her on the 1901. hudson b 1880-no trace, might have died young. susan, not found. they must be on either the 1891 or 1901 somewhere. sue.

hi crista, many thanks, looks like them. his father had the same occupation, it states this on the w cert. first breakthrough in ages, lol sue.

ellen ann was b sept qtr 1875 batley, she married my gr grandad vials thompson in 1893 in birstall. joseph walker was a witness, so i think william and mary prob. had more children, sue.

Sue, I don't think I have the right family. This is the same family on the 1881.

Sue, There is a Susan Walker 12 neice with John and Emma Ward and family in Batley on the 1891. Emma.

hi crista, sorry i got giddy, thought you had sent me census entry from 1861 , which would have looked ok, have calmed down now, many thanks anyway, lol sue.

Sue, Hudson is listed on the 1901. He is married and still in Batley. Crista

hi crista, i was supposed to have looked on there last night, think this lot are making me dizzier than usual, thanks sue, will take another look .

Sue I think this is them on 1891 - they'd been transcribed as McMahon, the family before them on the schedule Mary Walker, wife, 44, feeder in woollen mills, Yorkshire Batley Susan Walker, daur, sing, 14, rag picker, Batley Hudson Walker, son, sing, 10, scholar, Batley Sarah Ellen Walker, daur, 9, scholar, Batley Mary Elizabeth Norton, boarder, 14, rag picker, Lancashire NK at 45 Common Road, Batley Emma.

hi emma, that is them, well some of them. if it says mary was a wife and not widow, wonder where he had floated off to MEN !!! ellen ann would have been 16 by then, she must have been with relations or a serveant. she married in 1893 and w cert says she was living in staincliffe then. thanks sue.

help still needed, where was he in 1891 and 1901, sue
