From Walkers to Parkinsons

Steve Robinson has been in touch in response to my Walker Pereira De Freitas British. Guiana Connection post. According to Steve, John Walker (joiner) and Margaret Parkinson were the parents of James Walker of Avenham Tower who married Mary Hannah Smith (the parents of Mary Agnes Walker aka Polly). This makes John and Margaret my great great great grandparents.

Margaret Parkinson parents were James Parkinson, corn dealer in Preston (died Southport June 1840), and Deborah Salthouse. Their son John is Steve’s ancestor, and John and Margaret also had a brother called George.
