GORDON PATRICK WALKER
Rank:Surgeon Probationer
Date of Death:01/03/1917
Regiment/Service:Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve H.M.S. "Pheasant."
Panel Reference24.MemorialPLYMOUTH NAVAL MEMORIAL
I'm trying to find out info about this man
I have Robert Jardine Walker Capt MiD 1st Gordon Highlanders b Glasgow Age 24 Killed in Action F & F 25/09/15 Son of John Allan Walker, Art Master & Agnes Jardine Walker, 6 York Ave; Jordonhill, Glasgow. Officers Book page 167. National Probate Calander: 11 Great George St; Hillhead, Glasgow. B 1891. Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres M. R. 29 Panel 38
On Ancestry there is info about Robert's brother - died in WWI but not exact info.
As you can see I don't have Robert on a memorial either.
Can anyone find them on any memorial I think it's likely to be in Glasgow.
Anne

There is a birth certificate that should be him: 05-Oct-1897 in Jordanhill, Partick to the parents you name above.
Robert was six years older, born 16-Feb-1891 in Kelvin District, Glasgow.
In the 1901 census, the parents and three sons (inc. Allan, age 7) were in Partick (the section in Govan Registration District).
In the 1911 census, the parents and two younger boys were still in Partick (Govan RD). There is a probable for Robert in 1911, a visitor in a household in Marchmont, Edinburgh.

I am still wondering about a mention on a memorial for both of them.

Looks like Jordanhill and Partick areas look like good starting points for the search.

There is a Robert Walker listed on WW1 Roll of Honour in Partick East United Free Church, Glasgow. He is also mentioned on the WW1 wooden panel Memorial on the pulpit in the same Church.
This may, or may not, be the man you are seeking.

There are 3 names on the Roll of Honour;
Robert Walker (gave his life)
R. Walker
William Walker.
There are no details re date of death or Regiments which is unfortunate.
Sorry cant be of more help. |
