I am doing research on the walker family and have traced it back to 1783 when Thomas Walker married Mary Bates.....in St Martins church
I am trying to trace backwards....as far as I can go....
If anyone out there has worked for the factory I would like to hear any stories regarding the owners.
I know they took over a large part of St Pauls Squre in about 1920 and that it was a real warren of a place
