Could anyone help me find out what happened to my great grandfather, William Stalker. Born 1860, Penrith, Cumberland. Married Annie Middleton. His youngest son was born 1899 (so William was most likely (?) around prior to this). The 1901 Census lists Annie as the head of the household raising several children on her own. I cannot find out anything relating to what happened to William. My dad knows nothing about him and he was never mentioned. |

Thank you everyone for your speedy replies! I can now follow the trail from William's death at age 33, registered at Kendal. Interestingly, issues around parentage have now come to light for the two youngest sons, one of which is my grandad (Joseph). Additionally, Annie's first son, James, was a result of an earlier liaison before meeting William. Interesting lady! |
