no Chris, I have checked the file she has given me but I don't see it. I will tell her when I see her next at work on Tuesday, and she can order it if she wants. Thanks.:-)

Do you have that 1882 Marriage Cert. of Fred?...

(Father of John on his second Marriage as William)

Chris :)

Jacqueline, my friend Jo Battersby, was born in Lincolnshire to Jack Earley and Phyllis Cawley; Phyllis was the daughter of Fred Cawley and Clara Wackett. Clara was the daughter of Fred and Charlotte Wackett, who are the ? parents or cousins of the said Walter. Jo has lived in Lancashire for many years so does not have access to much info currently, hence she has asked me to try and find any information. The elderly aunts and her mother have been dead for years so cannot ask them anymore. All she says is that he seemed to be treated "differently" by family members, according to her mum's account and that of others (Jo was born in 1965 so never actually knew Walter, he died the following year) and not in a nice way, as though there was something odd about him?. A thought I have put to her, is that was there ever any question about his sexual orientation? Everyone she knows has wondered if he was the illegitimate son of an unmarried Wackett, and taken in by Fred and Charlotte , but people at those times were also rather nasty if someone was gay. But of course, this doe not explain the discrepancies on the census, that he was Fred and Charlotte's son born in Lincolnshire one minute, and a nephew from Ireland the next!!!! Sadly I doubt if we will ever know. Like so many mysteries, if only family had questioned before it was too late and sunk in the memory of time?

How does your friend connect with this family?

13 siblings??!! My, what fecundity!!! I will pass it on. Thank you :-)

G-B, when I told her about the policeman and his family, she checked other records that shad and asked other family members about the various names, but no one has any family info really, but she said there were no links to Scunthorpe. I won't see her again now until Tuesday, but will ask her again.
Andrew- I have seen other Wacketts/Whackets,too, and have noted the link to Navan. I can't help but think they are related somehow. I know where Navan is as luck would have it, we have a friend who lives in Trim, which is a close by village. Both are tiny places.
Thank you both for your interest, anyway.

Also in Navan. Bit of speculation.

Okay so the one born 1886/7 married in 1911 and died in 1955 Horncastle

The Walter Wackett shown on 1891 is still with his parents in 1901 but shown as a policeman on 1911

How does your friend know which is the right one?

Thanks GB, I had seen this and wondered but Joanne (the work colleague) didn't seem so convinced I will ask again. Thank you.

That's interesting, Andrew, and I note the difference in spelling. As you can see on Glitter's post, they were down as Wickett, but I have not done that variant of spelling as you give. Thank you.
