Walter was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in 1857[1] He was the son of Isaac Gaukrodger, porter. [2]

On 29 Oct 1885 at Huddersfield St. John, he married Alice Scholes, daughter of Benjamin Scholes(dead). Walter lived at Sheepridge; Alice at Cowcliffe. [2] She died in 1893.

On 23 Oct 1901 at Nelson, New Zealand, he married Florence May Warren, third daughter of Pierce M. Warren of Derby. He was a resident of New Plymouth, New Zealand. [3]

Research Notes

Information from the probate file:

  • Widow: Florence May Gaukrodger; born Derby, England on 2 Mar 1875
  • Born Huddersfield, Yourkshire, 29 March 1859. (NOTE - in contradiction to the 1857 birth record)
  • Died at Waiotahi on 12 April 1920.

Note, there are records for Walter Gaukrodger of Halifax born abt. 1856, widowed as of 1901. But there is a matching UK death record , and no child on the 1901 census, so I think that is a different person. [7]
