Have finally got around to working on some of my own lines which I have neglected and have found the marriage of David Walker and Elizabeth Webb in 1871.
Have their 1881 census details when they were in Harts Hill.

They are on BCC here:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ker-Family

Can anyone find David in the 1871 census or earlier - his father was Benjamin Walker.

1861. 69 Harts Hill, Dudley.
Richard Curnes 47.
Grace Curnes 46.
Richard Curnes 20.
Walter Curnes 17.
Sarah Walker 45. Boarder. Widow. Brockmore, Worcestershire.
George H Walker 16. Boar Son. Hartshill, Worcestershire.
Barbra Walker 14. Boar Dau. Hartshill, Worcestershire.
David Walker 12. Boar Son. Boarder. Hartshill, Worcestershire.
Clara Walker 8. Boar Dau. Hartshill, Worcestershire.
Josep Walker 2. Boar Son. Hartshill, Worcestershire.

The closest I can see in 1851.

1851. Harts Hill, Dudley.
Richard Grimes 36.
Grace Grimes 36.
Richard Grimes 10.
Walter Grimes 7.
Benjamin Walker 36. Lodger. Labourer at Iron works. Derby, Derbyshire
Sarah Walker 34. Kingswinford, Staffordshire.
Mary A Walker 7. Dau. Kingswinford, Staffordshire.
George Walker 5. Son. Kingswinford, Staffordshire.
Birthsiah Walker 4. Dau. Kingswinford, Staffordshire.
Daniel Walker 2. Son. Kingswinford, Staffordshire. possibly should be David.

Thanks Jimmy those look promising - wonder where David was in 1871: it must have been just before his mariage

adding this in on Bcc
