    Hi JACKIE-F,
    I started with the name WALKER and on the 1861 census is a Patrick WALKER born 1842 in Scotland,occupation given as miner. Living with his parents John and Elizabeth at Shiney Row, Painshaw, Durham.
    Sorry if this muddies the waters.
    Regards
    Spike

    Perhaps he was illegitimate, and in later life used his natural father`s surname? my own father did this, he was born surname McCulloch, then after his mother died in 1914, her "adopted" the surname of his natural father, and which I also bear, what is on his birth certificate, does that help?
