Hi Gerald Small world is it not. Just by sheer coincidence my 'middle' name happens to be WALKER and further I was born on a 2nd May (not 1874 but 1932) My family line is centred on the UK and does not have any direct connections with those in the USA, so I cannot chip in with any information on your lineage. I do however understand that a Bond Holroyd b.1866 in Marsden, West Yorkshire UK moved to the states. This person could be a relation as mine came from Marsden. I am currently researching my 3xggp JAMES BOND b.1780 Kendal, Westmorland,UK. who became an Independent Minister at Marsden.
