FAMILY HISTORY

Angela Bold is researching her family tree and is asking for information with a Killamarsh connection.

She says she has found out that her famility originated from Killamarsh.

The information she has is that they ran a Public House and also a Butchers on Shepherd Lane which is now Bridge Street.

Their names were George Walker and his wife Mary Walker and their children Frank, Gweneline and George.

In 1901 George Walker was then married to Annie Eleanor Walker and had three daughters Harriet, Eleanor and Frances and they lived at 11 Bridge Stree, Walkers Lane, Killamarsh.

They later moved to the Hope Valley and ran the Blacksmith’s Arms in Hope.

Can anyone remember this family and the name of the public house they used to run on Shepherd Lane/Bridge Street.

Any information can initially be passed on by emailing  enquiries@killamarsh.org

  1. I think George Walker used to run the Navigation Inn on Shepherd Lane. The Lane probably got its name from a former Landlord of the Navigation in 1809, J. Shepherd.
