Hi Laura,a bit of a mystery for you. Courtesy of th mormons and their free access to the 1881 census I have established that Walter Chambers was living with Edward Mackley and the census describes them as Grandfather and Grandson living in Orton Waterville, Huntingdonshire.Walter being 12 (born 1869?) in the same place and Edward (a butcher) 81 (born 1800?) in Stanground (Northants, Cambridgeshire or Hunts(as the boundaries are a bit grey in that area)). The mystery is partly Walter's father was William Chambers born 1839 in OW and his mother Maryanne Pywell (b 1843 ? possibly Northants) listed seperately also in OW with several other children aged between 18 and 0.I would like to try and establish Walter's real relationship to what the census says is his grandfather but due to Walter's parents' surnames seems unlikely. Edward I believe did have 3 daughters and a son and courtesy of Cambridgeshire council putting transcripts of the Estate records of the Marquess of Huntly on the web beleve his wife was Susan Wooten Mackley (is wooten her maiden name?) who died in 1869.The other part of the mystery is that the limited access without subs to the 1891 and 1901 censii(sp?) have no trace of Walter although I have relatives born in the 1930's who met him. Best explanation is that I know he served in the army (hussars?) and may have been abroad on service when those censii were taken (I think he served in one of the Boer wars.)My email addy is my username on here separated by an underscore "_" in the middle at yahoo.comto keep it on topic of Secret Leeds I do know Walter guarded a railway bridge (2 of 3 possibilities still exist) close to Tommy Wass during the war

Hi Tyke bhoy, not as easy as i first thought haven't really solved your mystery probably added too it as i have found more grandchildren who's parents i cannot be sure of... very interesting though it seems alot of these records are not their as their are hardly any BMD records and some census results do not seem to be their... i havn't searched outside of huntingdonshire yet but i will, i have managed to find what seems to be Edwards brothers all butcher by trade! and their familys i will email them too you, you said William was working in Leeds, i will search for him on the 1901 census i will tell you what i will find..

One and the same people,Family search.org and the Mormons.They also have a free downloadable family history program,Personal Ancestry File,that allows you to build your tree on your PC.It is little limited in what it will allow you to do but i understand there will be an all sing and dancing version in the pipeline.The program works on a gedcom file system which allows you to swap tree details with other family history programs or websites such as Ancestry,Rootsweb and Genes reunited.As a consequence of this you can down load from from these sites and transfer the data to PAF.
