I have 6 of 8 listed.... great many thanks for the assistance

Another tree on Ancestry says that son Walter George (1894-1941) married Edith Mabel Hedges ( 1888-1987) and had son Glen Gilbert Kirkham (1917-2001).

A tree on Ancestry says that Emmaline died in 1900 after the birth of her 8th. child.

Which country did Walter and Emmaline marry in?

Kath. x

The above gentleman married Emmaline Prestige 1857-1900 and had the following children...

Arthur E Kirkham, Emmaline Kirkham, Robert John Kirkham 1891 and Stanley John Kirkham 1894-1918 according to notes I have their was another child which I have yet to find. Would be interested to find any information out, possible marriage or children. I am aware of privacy laws relating to other countries.
