Hello

Walter James Steele was born in 1880 to John and Hannah Steele. He is present on all censuses up till 1901, where is he on the 1911 census? he would have been married to either Catherine Fitzpatrick or Mary Agnes Feeney

Hi

1911 lookups are not allowed.  Please see http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,355486.0.html

Have you ruled out the one living in Sheffield and spelt as Steel?

You haven't given any details of his birthplace - presume Cumberland as you have posted on that board - the Sheffield entry matches to a Cumberland birthplace

He was born in Great Clifton in Cockermouth, there is a marriage in Cockermouth in 1905 and he died in 1937 in Cockermouth

Hi looks as if he married the Mary Feeney, as their is this birth:-

Florence M Steele Dec qtr 1913 Cockermouth 10b 1159 mmn Feeney

there is a Walter James Steele, wife Mary Agnes and 9mth old son Walter S on a passenger list for New York 25.2.1911.  Occ engine man but no age shown for him or wife

So that could explain the missing census

I think thats him since his father was John Steel, did he stay in America or did he return to England since there is a Walter J Steele dying in 1937 in Cockermouth
