Walter John Kent b 15 jan 1860 Brompton S Kensington
Mother Ellen Spicer
1st marriage to Fanny caroline Stockwell -Walter's father named as John Kent gentleman deceased
2nd marriage to Laura Elizabeth Holmes Walters father named as Walter John Kent -gentleman deceased.
1861 Walter Kent age 1 is with his grandmother Elinor Spicer (looks like Spiers) , his mother Ellen(22) , and aunts Eliza 21 and Sarah 19
1871 Where was Walter, gran , mother and Aunts?
??
1881shows Sisters Elizabeth Morgan (U) 33 and Amelia U 32
with them are : Eliza (Spiers?) Spicer U 33, visitng is matthew Cooper U 20 Pianoforte tuner and Walter J Kent U 21 described as nephew.
Is walter the nephew of Eliza Spicer and not the morgan ladies?
?
Matthew Cooper and Walter john Kent became partners in Cooper and kent music shops in Nottingham and mansfield.
Matthew Cooper married Eliza Spicer - who was older than him -Eliza is not at home in 1891 - wonder if this Eliza is Walter's aunt? -and told porkies about her age?
? It doesn't look like matthew and Eliza had any children
Where was Eliza Cooper (neeSpicer) in 1891
?
It seems Walter's name was accepted as kent ?
Anyone any ideas about his father?
Any idea for bastardy records???
I'll post the Stckwell information
Hopefully others will join in the hunt.
