Misc. Notes
They were divorced after Vivian was born. She went on to marry a number of other times; Grandpa V's cousin Vivian told wonderful stories about this woman and her exploits, including the husband she thought better of after the wedding and abandoned at the train station -- she got into the train and got right out on the other side.

When Grandpa V went back to visit his parent's home in Canada later in life, he rode to the town of Kilbride (near Hamilton) with a local man, who on hearing who he was exclaimed, "You're Charlie Wilkerson's son? Why, he's had every woman in Kilbride!" This may have contributed to his divorce.7
Children Vivian Walker (1890-1973)
