Walkden family- Horwich, Rivington, Blackrod, Bolton - Blackrod
Gt.Gt.Grandfather Daniel Walkden b.1808 in Horwich, Lanc's and baptised at Rivington. I believe his parents were James Walkden and Nancy ( Ann ) Finch. It appears that his parents eventually moved to Bolton, Lanc's but Daniel married a Alice Fish in 1829 and lived in Blackrod, lanc's. The census's show that they lived and eventually died in Blackrod. One of their sons, Robert ( my Gt Grandfather ) married a Ann Walker in 1860 and they moved to Bolton, lanc's . They had seven children, one being my Grandfather Daniel Walkden b.1868 - 1925. He married my Grandmother Mary Shackleton and had two children, one being my Father Robert Walkden. Since Robert sr. the family remained in Bolton although my Grandmother's family originated in Burnley, Lanc's. If any of the above names and dates " ring any bells " I would love to hear from you and especially if anyone can make a definite connection with the original James Walkden and Nancy Finch.
