My paternal grandparents
Inkerman and Sarah Walker
Inkerman Walker: born 1885, Bedwellty
Sarah Walker (née James): born Manorbier, 31/1/1882; died Swansea, 1/6/1963
Married: 5/9/1911
On their wedding day, 5/9/1911. One of their wedding presents was a Welsh slate clock engraved with the date. This was stolen in a burglary from our house in Southend in August 1993.
A postcard photo of Inkerman, which he sent to Sarah:
“Dear Friend, Here I am in all my attire. Just been preaching at Bargoed. I have found time at last to visit… I don’t feel half well so I sent myself on… Hoping you are quite well, Ink.” (Postcards were what people used in 1907 instead of Instagram)
