Hello Glen Thank you so much for your kind offer, even though it wasn't possible in the end! Robert and Elizabeth married in Sheffield and I have their marriage certificates which is where I got father John's name from. It will have to be PR's to find a marriage for John WALKER and unknown spouse, I suppose. Thanks very much indeed again for your help and very kind offer.
