It certainly looks like the couple I am after, which is great. I hadn't thought of searching for Ellen instead of Eleanor, though I should have. Now to go through and find them in the census' . I would have liked my friend to buy John Waltons birth certificate, but not being a genealogist, she cant see the point of sending the money. Thank you both again, and all the best in your research.

On Johns Queensland, Aust death certificate, which I have bought, it states his mothers name was Eleanor Fitzhugh. One of his sons used Fitzhugh as a middle name. John Walton born 1854 in Salford Lancs was as far as I can see, the 6th child of Thomas Walton and Eleanor. After much searching on Find My Past, the only marrige for a Thomas Walton to an Eleanor in the right time frame is to Eleanor Moses, on the 17 June 1841 at Walton on the Hill, Lancs. This was a transcript in FMP from Family Search England Marriages, 1538 - 1973. Her father was named Robert Moses and Johns was Thomas Walton. I found the GRO registration of that marriage. 1841 Q2, Vol 20, P 683, West Derby, Lancs. I had wondered if Eleanor Moses was previously married and her maiden name was Fitzhugh, but found a baptism for her as Eleanor Moses on 20 Jan 1820 at Brampton, Cumberland, England. Her parents were Robert Moses and Ann. Thomas 35 and Eleanor 33 in the 1851 census, were at Cow Lane, Salford with children Jane 8, Robert 3 and Thomas 6 months. In 1861 they wee at 7 Nangrew ? street Salford, with Jane, Elizabeth, Robert, Thomas, James, John 7, Mary, Maria and Henry. All the family were marked as born in Salford. I am hoping someone on the list might have these people in their tree, or perhaps give me some clues on finding Eleanor Fitzhugh. Thanks, Nan Bailey Ningi, Qld, Australia
