Walters family

[2november78]

I am looking for ancestors of my grandfather Ronald Philip Walters (1924 - 1970)

Apparently, he never talked much about his family.
All i know is that his father was called Ernest Walters (1877-1934), he married someone called Ethel Caroline - her maiden name was also Walters (1882-1937).

Would be nice to see if anyone had an information on the family or knew of any other ancestors.

The marriage is on FreeBMD

Your first step could be to get the marriage cert, which will hopefully give both fathers' names and occupations and might lead you to the families in 1901

Ap/May/Jun 1903
Kensington 1a 386
Ethel Caroline Walters - one of grooms is Ernest Walters

or you may find the births on FreeBMD and be able to get the birth certs - you have the year of birth and the names are not too common

In 1901
Ethel C is a 19 yr old servant in a H/H in Kensington - just right for her marriage in 1903!

Looks like your grandfather was a late baby as they had been married 21 years by his birth.
