Military Chat

George, on the other thread you say that you know he has married twice and had children that have not seen him. A little information about that could help.

Did he marry as Kenneth or John Kenneth?

Where did he marry? Where was his last known whereabouts? You said he married a Scottish lass- did he marry in Scotland?

Yes netherfield rd is correct....and archibald meakin.no one knows if she married william irvine walker.my mother and her sister.hilda walker and olive walker..always though there father was walker but it appears there father was archibald meakin..we think kenny found this out...he then joined the army.my mum and her sister never seen him again?....we have kenneth john walker born 1920..d.o.b.30.12.1920.
Emily roberts his mum 1898.archibald meakin 1877..william irvine walker 1889..

If you have the correct parents then it appears his birth was registered as John K in first quarter of 1921 mother's maiden name Roberts.

However, I'm not seeing a marriage in England or Wales between William Irvine Walker and Emily Roberts (perhaps I'm missing something?)
--------------------------------------------------------

Possibly his mother in 1939, although birth date is a little different:

Walker Household (2 People) 79 Netherfield Road South , Liverpool C.B., Lancashire, England

Emily Walker 27 Jan 1898 Female General Shop Keeper Married
Closed Record
Closed Record
Archibald (J) Meakin 14 Dec 1889 Male Ice Cream Salesman Married

Edit: related thread: http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1330243

a bit confusing as on the thread for the link I've just posted it says you have the birth certificate- name John Kenneth Walker born 30 Dec 1920- this differs from the birth date you've given.

An accurate birth date could help find a possible death.

George - if you are looking for his Military records, they'd still be with the MOD

There's always the possiblility that he is still living!

This is the link for obtaining UK service records:

They'd cost £30 have a copy sent to you, which may be after several months.
