Thank you for your PM,
It might be better if you reply on this post rather than send us PM's then others can see what you are telling us.  ;)


Perhaps this is Walter on 1930 census

I am not seeing an obvious death again for him

I can see him going to Quebec with his brother Arthur in 1923.Both listed as boilermakers.
Found the family on the census at the same address as Walter & Elfriede give when they leave the UK in 1934.
Parents William & Mary Emma.
So far I can see him as a boilermaker, carpenter & butler.
He married Elizabeth Ann Thornton 1910.
3 children so far:
Walter Sydney 1910
Mary E 1912
Dorothy 1916
Can't see a suitable death for Elizabeth.
Did he run ?

I think this is Walter's WWII draft registration card.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11831-159161-71?cc=1861144 

Walter filed a petition for naturalization in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York and was naturalized on 27 Apr. 1942.  The petition gives his children as Walter born 18 Apr. 1911, Mary born 11 Feb. 1913, and Dorothy born 11 Nov. 1917.  It says they were all born to his first wife Elizabeth who died in England in 1925.
