Hi Patricia Thanks for the link. I notice that we start from a different George Walker, perhaps. Yours is born 21 Dec 1801. Mine was born 27 Nov 1803, baptised 18 Dec 1803, son of John Walker and Elizabeth (Betty) Cooling. Do you recall the parents of your George? Intrigued also to see Herbert used with son John's name. He was baptised plain John Walker, and yet the sites I've visited today refer to John Herbert Walker, or Herbert John Walker in your case. I never knew his date of birth, as it wasn't recorded in the West Lydford parish register of baptisms. I'm missing that inside knowledge you share with others who have researched this family. I'm really pleased with the response I've had today from this list. One day, and I'm overwhelmed with data. My real quest is to find George's cousin, Charles, my G2 grandfather. He was a Royal Marine, and retired in 1854; at which point he and wife Elizabeth (COLE) had 4 children; One died young. This family then vanished from the UK census history, and I'm sure he must have emigrated. He is my biggest brick wall, but today's events have told me to start looking in places like Canada and the USA. Charles must have visit the USA a number of times as an RM - the ships he served on certainly spent time in North America and the West Indies.
