Hi Halfsheep,
As far as i'm aware my great greandfather was called Andrew (from marraige and death certificate I have). Est DOB is 1880 on death cert, and 1901 England & Wales census is 1879. I have a private family tree already on Ancestry if you have access. The only other thing my mother told me was that she thinks he was from Wexford. There is a an Andrew Whitty in 1901 Irish census working a farm labourer in Wexford, Ballymitty with the same YOB with what looks like his brother (not a v whitty either), but as far as i'm aware its pretty impossibly for him to be recorded twice in two different counties, although Maura didn't know where this Andrew went either! And thats all I have, which seems to be the problem. I have however wondered where the name Walter had come from as I know it does not appear in any other part of my tree so I figured perhaps someone in Andrews family might have been called this.
Not sure if this is any use to you but there was an A V Whitty living in St bride's in the 1930-50's according to some info I have researched but im not sure where he came from. I think his DOB was around 1890 and he appears to have run garage called A V Whitty Garages in Southerndown.
