A Walter frustration....

[Devilish]

Hi Folks,

I'm having an absolute NIGHTMARE - and i mean that - trying to find the correct volume for a birth certificate for my ancestor, Herbert Albert Walter.

I believe, according to a marriage certificate, aged 44 in 1919 - meaning 1875 as birth - With The father as Jesse Walter - At All Souls' In Hampstead for the baptism - on the 20th June 1875.

Problem is, no record, or volume, of his birth, which is...well.....doing my head in.

Do any of you Middlesex researchers have any answer to my prolonged agony on this matter?

Thanks
Rich

hi,,do you have the wedding certificate to hand?  what was jesses occupation?

Have you looked at the census - according to the 1881, Herbert - son of Jesse was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Hoping this link works :

confused by your post. where does the baptism come in to it? 
i was also thinking about that 1881 census,,

Births Jun 1874

WALTER  Herbert     Thingoe  4a 536

Have to agree, that was the birth that I found too.

Thank goodness it's not just me who was puzzled !

strange that the fathers name changes to henry in the 1891 census?

[Devilish]

yes, i realised Jesse's name changed to Henry in 1891 - even stranger - he vanished in 1901 entirely.

Oh and for a laugh - check jesse's ages (to henry) through the censuses.....i think he quantum leaped ages as well badly....

This is the problem with this guy, im finding this birth one - and also if anyone can be sure - the death one also? (we think 1950s) london area, kensington/camden area...

In 1881, Jessie Walter was born in 1841, Reading, Berkshire.

In 1891, Henry Walter was born in 1852, Hereford, Herefordshire.

You say you don't have Henry in 1901, do you have a record of Eliza in 1901 ? I would have expected to find an Eliza Walter marrying a Henry Walter, but there doesn't appear to be one ?

Have you checked the 1911 for either of them ?
