MORE DEVON WALKEY NOTES.

The following were taken from “Devon and Cornwall Notes & Queries” Volume 8 , 1914   1915, Part 2.  Notes on the Churches of the Deanery of Kenn, Devon.
 

ALPHINGTON,  Dedication Saint Michael.  Pages 15/16

These memorials are of interest as adding to the number of monuments which commemorate this family in the neighbourhood of Exeter;  and they have not been included in the very interesting articles on Leach of Cadleigh etc., given in Devon Notes and Queries, Volume 2.

 In memory of the following persons interred within the walls of this church:

         Frances, wife of  Samuel Walkey, gent., was buried 7 Nov 1678.
         Elizabeth, daughter of above, 1 Mar 1687; also Grace, her sister, 21 Feb 1717.
         Samuel Walkey, 17 Dec 1721.

         In the same vault were laid:
 Sarah, his wife, d. 26 Mar 1726
          Thomas Hall of Bridford, gent, who married Sarah, eldest daughter of Samuel Walkey.
 Dorothy, daughter of Samuel Walkey and wife of the Revd. John Pitman, rector of Alphington, buried 23 May 1721.
          Samuel Walkey of Alphington Esqr. (son of the said Samuel) buried 30 Oct 1749.
          Samuel Walkey of the Middle Temple, gent., (only son of the last Samuel Walkey)
    10 Apr 1753.
          Mary, wife of Benjamin Walkey of Exeter, gent., and daughter of Alderman Joseph Elliott Esqr., was also buried in this church.
 

IDE,  Dedication to St. Ida. p 102.

There are also memorials to:
  ....Joseph Elliott Collyns Walkey of Pole House, Ide, d. 1898;
       Catherine, his wife, 1901
 

 EAST TEIGNMOUTH,  Dedication to St Michael. p 157.

I do not think this has a connection with our branch of the Walkey family.

...(Brass)
Henry Walter Walkey, able seaman of Her Majesty's Ship "Melita" accidentally drowned in the harbour of Alexandria, Egypt, by the capsizing of a boat on the night of 17 January 1890.
His body rests in the cemetry at Alexandria.  Erected by the Captain and Officers and Ship's Company of H.M.S. "Melita" as a token of regard for their late shipmate.
 
 

EXMINSTER,  Dedication to Saint Martin. p228.

  ..Joseph Elliott Collyns Walkey, of Pole House, most probably is a descendant of the  Benjamin Walkey and Mary, his wife, daughter of Joseph Elliott, on the  monument in Alphington Church.
