Our old correspondence from E.G.Walton in new york dated Nov 17th 1889 to George Hyatt (our Great Great Grandfather, born 1821) The Walton family come from George Hyatt's Wife, Emily Drew. One of her sisters, Harriet Drew married Henry Walton in 1838 in Birmingham. This was a pain to find as she married the year the BMD index started and she was previously married to a 'Worrall' that is not indexed. E.G.Walton himself is Edward G Walton, not on the US census, the 1890 was destroyed by fire, in the one either side (1880 and 1900) he was away at sea, he was listed as a trader but in what I have no idea. His name is on various ships manifests from Trinidad, Tobago, New York and Liverpool. This line of Drew/Walton were all from Birmingham, and became goldsmiths and gunsmiths. Although the family are in England in 1881, passport's were issued to a family of 7 Waltons in 1879. They emigrated by ship.
