Oh, also- you need to check various spellings, too. Maybe it got spelled wrong. I have found one man's name spelled two different ways Nagle and Nagel; and Scherrer can be spelled, Scherrer, Scherer, Scheerer, Sherer, and Schearer, in the city directories. I was just over looking up city directories and was amazed with what I found by looking at different spellings. Is it, also possible that he lived with someone else and wasn't the head of the house? Maybe with some children? You might try the census for that- I have found that quite a few times. Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "N.

Well, not *too* much you can do to Walker and from England, but yes, I tried a few variations. I am pretty good at finding the obscure but so far not in thsi case. Unfortunately census does not help much as they came after 1861 and both died before 1870. I am sure about his occupation before he arrives, 1841, 1851 and 1861 English census has him as a carpenter / craftsman / cabinet maker. He had apprentices for cabinet making as well. 1861 Victualler (Tavern Keeper) was added. There must be another child I never found in England whom he followed to the states. There had to be someone named Walker with a school aged boy - elementary school range, aged about 9-11 between 1865 and 1869. Unfortunately Walker is a common name and it is not unusual to find a Robert and Sarah Walker in approximate age range. I have yet to find a ship manifest with them on it. The answers are out there somewhere.
