I'm trying to find what became of Walter Orlando GODDEN (with a name like that you would think he would be easy to trace!). I know that he married Alice Maude JENNER in London in 1903 (reg Q1, Paddington, 1a, 107). At the time of the 1911 census he and Alice are living at 25 Preston Street, Faversham, they have no children (alive of dead).
As far as I can see from FreeBMD they never have any children. I think Alice died in 1929 (reg Q2, Faversham, 2a, 1252 age 59) but I can find no death for Walter (at least on the indexed lists).
Many thanks for any help.

Struggling to locate Walter on the 1901 census. His wife-to-be, Alice JENNER, is in Paddington (their marriage is reg Q1 1903 Paddington), but I can't find Walter :(
As a reminder he is Walter Orlando GODDEN, born 1870 in Bilsington. At the time of the 1891 census he was in Hastings, Sussex.
Any help much appreciated.

My grandmother was a resident in Benstead House. I have a large group photo of them all sitting outside somewhere, not sure on date taken.
