General Notes:
In my possession I have a newspaper clipping which is incomplete and undated - this article probably came from a local Higham Ferrers/Kettering English newspaper that Gilbert Blackwell had delivered to Australia regularly. This paper article would have been from around 1971 as Owen was 75 years of age at the time. Owen died when he was 76.
The story relates to the Higham Ferrers British Legion Club and has a photo of Owen Walker sitting with a pipe and a beer at the newly renovated Club. Owen at the time was 75 years of age and had become a member of the club in 1919 when it was known as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club. Owen thinks the club is one of the best in the area. It gets better and better all the time he says. Owen Walker was living at 5 North End Higham Ferrers and had joined shortly after the club had formed. Owen was described as an ex-foreman clicker who worked at John Whites in the export department when he retired ten years ago and had been a regular member of the Club ever since.
At the time of the newspaper article, the President of the branch was Mr Dick Blackwell.
Albert married Doris May SUDBOROUGH [5363] [MRIN: 1664] in Sep 1922 in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England 3.,4 (Doris May SUDBOROUGH [5363] was born in 1900 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, died on 9 Jan 1996 and was cremated on 18 Jan 1996 in Kettering Crematorium, Kettering, Northamptonshire, England 10.)
