Yes having the same problem on 1861 census parents married 1838 Liverpool hard to make out but think Thomas Walters who married Jane McMaster was a Tailor ? his father occupation was upholster  :)

Thanks all for helping so quickly!

I know Thomas (b 1840) moved to Australia before 1864. On his marriage certificate he has his father Thomas occupation as draper.

According to parents' marriage cert (1838, Liverpool), Thomas Walters (father also Thomas) and Jane Mcmaster (father Andrew) were both born c1817. Thomas lists his residence a "Liverpool, Lancaster, Chester", and Jane's is "Liverpool".

Thomas Mortimer Walters died 1844 Chorlton, Lancashire - I thought this was the grandfather, but maybe the father?  (So many Thomas Walters!)

Didn't know about the brother - but Thomas' (in Australia) first child was named Horatio (died an infant) and a later son John Rowley.

I have a reference to a Thomas Walters age 11 at Newcastle upon Tyne in the 1851 census, but I'm not sure who else is in the household. (Also Thomas Waters age 1 at Newcastle upon Tyne in 1841 census?).

thanks again, Maddys52

Thanks Keyboard,

Your 1841 find sounds likely - especially if Jane is from Ireland as suggested by brother George in 1851 census - although I don't know what they'd be doing in Sheffield?
