Walter Edwin Pickering

[EdCan]

Walter was born abt 1873 in Ontario Canada. I have been told that he was living in St Louis in 1910. Can someone have a look for him please? No idea if he was married or not. Would like to trace him if he is there.

After a quick look, i don't see him but there is this:
1910 St. Louis Directory
Pickering Walter E  broker r4570 Cote Brilliante av

Would you know your Walter's occupation, please?  Do you know if he returned to Canada at some point?

1913 and 1914 - Walter E, Cote address
1916 - Walter E, clk r 1516A Deer
1916 - Cecilia Pickering clk 809 Cass av r 1516A Deer

I'm not seeing this man in St. Louis (on the 1910 census).  I've not yet tried every variation of his last name, though.

Pickering Mary (wid Walter) stenog Bradstreet Co r 2813 S Ervay
Pickering Thos E clk Sears Roebuck & Co h 2813 S Ervay

Coincidence of names, or were these people the ones mentioned in St. Louis?  I did not see the Pickerings in St. Louis after 1916.

Update: Cecilia, Mary and Thomas E were living in Dallas in 1918.

Thanks Lisa

I have nothing re Walter other than he was born in Ontario. Strange that a Walter E Pickering is living in St Louis but does not appear in census. No guarantee that this is my Walter. Wonder if Cecilia is wife or daughter?
