I have a site for you to look at. Is it possible he could have called himself Edward Walker http://catalogue(.)pro(.)gov.uk (take away the brackets) when you get into it choose search.as the option. In box (1) enter Surname Walker. Ignor box 2. In( 3) enter WO97,WO121, Click on search. If all fails try putting Charles Walker in (1) Just mess around in it Good Luck Joan. I f you want anymore help send me an E. Mail to save trying to find the the thread on GC |
