Forest Hill is where alot of my family lived in the late 18 and early 1900's' so this would fit in with Mary
How odd Dee that there are 2 census records for them - is the one in pasedena definately theirs as well do you think? Interesting
Engineering runs in the Walker family - my father was a Civil and structural engineer as was his father, grandfather and grt grandfather and several other members

Hi
I am looking for my grt uncle , his mother and sister in 1911 and need your help please.
Leonard Arthur Walker b 1873 Clapham - in 1901 he is with parents John and Mary and sister Edith Frances Walker in Wolfington Road, Lambeth.
Possible addresses could be Woodside Green, South Norwood, Surrey, 127 Gleneldon Road, Streatham SW or Lillieshall Road, Clapham, London. I found 127 Gleneldon Rd, Streatham in the 1911 census but cant look at he image. I have no record of his death but I have a certificate with his name onof a plot purchase for Streatham Cemetery, Garret Lane, Tooting, London which was paid for in 1905. This could have been for his father John Walker who died on the 18th March 1905 at Lillieshall Road, Clapham. . Any info on a burial for Leonard would be great.
Leonards mother Mary Walker was born in 1840 in Staffordshire. She died June 20th 1928 in Woodside Green, S. Norwood which comes under Croydon, Surrey. Where was she in 1911 ?
Leonards sister was Edith Frances Walker b 1869 in Clapham. The last census I have for her is in 1891 with parents and siblings in The Grove, Camberwell. I cant find her in 1901 or 1911 but she could have been in America by then. She was granted American Naturalization on 28th May 1928 and lived in Cazenoria, Madison, New York where she worked as a governess for the Allen family. I dont know how or when she first went to America or if the Allen family had lived in the UK . I wonder if anyone can help with this one.
I have 2 records of Edith coming to the UK FROM NY with her employers - one on 31st July 1928 and another on the 5th September 1928 leaving Cherbourg, France for NY. She is also on the passenger list in 1930.
She may have come back to the uk when probate was granted to her for her mother Mary Walker on the 27th June 1928. She never married. If someone has worldwide membership I would be grateful for some assistance in tracing Edith either in the Uk or America in 1901 and 1911 and record of death.
Just one more - Older sister to Edith and Leonard - Charlotte Elizabeth Cater - Wallace was in the uk with sister Mary Ann Walker in 1911. She was born in 1858 in Brixton, London and in 1911 a widow. I have an envelope addressed to her in New York in 1931 so I wonder if she also emigrated as I can find no record of her death in the UK.
Quite alot of requests but I am always very grateful for your responses
Thanks very much
Rosie
