James was the first husband of my Great Grandmother Jane Ellen Walker, formerly Walmsley nee Reay I have many fond memories of James and Jane's daughter Margaret, my half-Great Aunt (and several items of furniture inheritied from her via my mother) Although I am not related to the Walmsleys other indirectly by marriage, I have an interest in James and his immediate family in order to give context to the lives of my direct relatives

I too have begun researching the Walmsley family tree. I am Albert Walmsley's daughter. I have seen a family member referred to as Geordielass from Woodbridge Suffolk - who are you?
