Hi Tara
Iris mother was Hesther Elizabeth Sadler from Ireland ,her father was Horatio Fredrick Walton ,we cant find marrage cert for this
Hesther Elizabeth Sadler second husband was Charles Seth Burden  from Melksham Wilts who was in the  Warwicks reg no 5433 also RGR no 6361 Rifleman , we have found them in the 1911 cencus we do know they went to Malta, this may be the reason we cant find them in 1901 cencus.
Kind Regards Robert

I'm confused though because Horatio appears to be still alive in 1911

Hi Tara
 yes we have been confused for years it took us 20 years to find him .
He died march 1928 in Southampton married to Jessie Elizabeth Penny when he was 56 marriage cert says Bachelor My granmother Iris said that he died when she was 4 .Iris lived to be 100 years old .

Wow, she sounds like a great lady.

So, just as a matter of interest, does Iris' marriage cert say that her father was called Horatio ?

Does the Iris Walton birth cert match up ie Mum's name Sadler ?

It's one of the most confusing trees that I can see as NOTHING seems to add up.

Elizabeth that was married to Horatio does not seem to add up to the Elizabeth that married Charles 

Does her marriage to Charles state that she was a widow or a spinster ?

Sorry, HA you only asked was Iris in Ireland in 1901 and here I am picking holes in your tree !

The short answer is that NO I can't see any trace of the family here in 1901 ~ as you suspected yourself it looks like they were most likely in Malta.

If you need any other help please let me know !

Hi Tara
on cert it says Spinster to Charles Burden
No marriage cert for Elizabeth to Horatio .
Iris birth cert named Elizabeth and Horatio .
Thanks for all your help Robert

HA 

Don't mind me Robert ~

I was convinced that Iris was the daughter of Joseph & Elizabeth Walton.

BUT I take it that Iris' marriage cert said that her father was Horatio ~ a retired / deceased naval engineer.

IF it DID indeed say this, then I suppose all the rest is a tangled web prior to Elizabeth leaving Horatio for some reason and starting a new life with Charles.
