Dear Sandra
I research the Pennell and Chapman families of Swansea - my maternal
grandmother's family. Margaret Dalton Pennell, eldest sister of my direct
ancestor, married a Thomas Morgan Walters. I wonder whether he might have
been a cousin of your William? See my website below for Pennell tree.

Hi to all,
I live in Australia and I am looking to connect with anyone researching
Walters or Fender lines.
My Great,Great Grandfather, William Christopher Walters, migrated to
Australia in the 1850's during the gold rush in Victoria.
William was born 1828 the son of James Walters and Mary Ann Walters nee
Fender.
William was baptised at St Mary, Swansea along with his siblings Mary 1829,
Henry 1831, Caroline 1833, Emily 1840.
I believe William's father, James Walters, was the son of James Walters and
Mary Hawkins.
James Walters was baptised 1804 at St Mary, Swansea.
I would appreciate any information on this family.
Thank you in anticipation.
Sandra
