Hi, I believe he could be the Walter Wallam who married Caroline Cooper 17th September 1866 St James the Less. Bethnal Green his father was also Walter

In 1871 their is:-

Caroline Wallam 26 b Leicester
ALFRED 3 b Hampshire, Springbourne
Edward 0 b Leicestershire
They are in the Ashby de le Zouch Union Workhouse
Census Ref RG10/3249/71/7


EDIT See you already have posted other threads with ALL the above information, it would have been handy if you had either linked the other threads, or let us know the full extent of your knowledge of him. saying that he's elusive isn't he!

Hi Tony,

I see you already have other posts about the same family or person:

Can you clarify, is the son ALFRED or ALBERT?

If he was born in Bournemouth and registered, then the registration district would be Christchurch.  Some births are only registered as 'male' or 'female' if the parents have not given a name.  The other possibility is that he was born before his parents married and was registered under his mother's maiden name.  The other thing to bear in mind is that not all children were baptised.
