There are many branches of the Walker family connected to us through both Joe Quilietti and through Peggy Walker Morrison who carried the connected surname through to her line.
So clearly the paternal line through Joe’s mums line. The Walker line were mainly from the Irvine area and would have worked either in the mines. Work was plentiful at that time for these manual jobs.
This is the birth of James Walker, son of William Walker and Margaret Jamieson born on 18th and baptised on the 24th October 1777. When James Walker was born on November 18, 1777, in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, his father, William, was 32 and his mother, Margaret, was 27. He married Mary Pinkerton in 1800 in his hometown. They had nine children in 20 years. He died on May 11, 1856, in Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland, having lived a long life of 78 years, and was buried in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland.
So here we have the death of my 4th Great Grandfather James Walker, Coal Miner and Widower. He died in Townend, Dalry on May 11th 1856 age 80 years Of Asthma. His son James Walker was present giving his x mark. His parents were William Walker, who was a Gardner and Margaret Jamieson who were both deceased. He was buried in the Church Yard in Irvine. This is an old CHURCHYARD which is still there today.
