Searched via google and found this on a message board :
"Hi I'm trying find information on my G granfather who was a boxer in the UK.He fought under the name Curly Walker but his name was Francis or Frank Millward."

Here is a list of (some of) his bouts.

Hope this helps

Hello Jimmy,
 
Curly Walker ( sometimes spelt Curley ) was my grandfather Alfred's brother,so we are related.
You are quite right in thinking that Curly couldn't have been his real name,believe it or not,he was actually christened Cornelius,
 
Regards,
 
Dave.
