I realised re the spelling of the surname but I put in a general search ie Mask* and that is the 2 that came up. It may have been mis-spelt

But, the Walter John found and you are commenting on has the surname spelt MASKREY as opposed to MASKERY as originally in your posting. I have found him too in the 1891 census as follows: - Maskrey, Walter T Relationship: Head County: Derbyshire Age: 23 Civil Parish: Wirksworth Gender: Male ED: 3 Where Born: Derbyshire, Wirksworth Eccl. Parish: St Mary Piece: RG12/2750 Town: Wirksworth Folio: 45 Page: 21 He is a STone Mason and is married with no children to a Jane E Maskrey. Let me know Jeni

I'm trying to find a man who is a vertual mystery. he is my great grand father WALTER MASKERY, he died in 1922 from cancer but i cnnot find when and if he was ever married, he had numerous illegitamate children but i cant seem to track him down, i thought i had found him but it was a walter theodore Maskery. can any one help me to find information on him, he was a stone mason apart from that the trail goes cold.
