Some first names would be helpful too. I did a search on the 1891 census for Walton, in Bedfordshire and saw 9 matches on the first index page just for Maulden and more fro Amptil.

Hi, my great grandad was John Walton from Harlington, Bedfordshire he was married to Edith Skinner and living in Hendon, Middlesex in the 1911 census, but I have found it difficult to trace his dad and family Thank you for you reply

John Walton was in his twenties in the 1911 cenus living in Hendon, Middlesex with his wife Edith, but going backwards I got stuck. I am not sure about his parents and their parents.

Do you have John and Edith's marriage certificate? If not, that should be your first step:

Hendon district, March quarter 1902, volume 3a, page 279. Edith Helen SKINNER and John WALTON are on the same page.

That should provide the names of both their fathers and help you back a step.

Have you seen the 1891 census entry:

100 Church Lane, Westoning, Beds.

John Walton, b abt 1858 - Coachman Domestic
Mary b abt 1857 Whitwick, Beds
John b abt 1882 Harlington
Mary b abt 1879, Chillington, Northumberland
Frank b abt 1887, Westoning, Beds
Cecil b abt 1889 Westoning, Beds
Reginald b abt 1891 Westoning.

Maybe Mary (born Northumberland) is not John's Daughter, but as John was a coachman I suppose he could have been in Northumberland with his wife at some time.
