Do you have access to Ancestry?  There are a number of family trees that list children etc

Hi Kay,

I will have a look at that, Thanks.  I am not subscribed to Ancestry

[alanatabz]

Had a look, but info I have is about same.

e.g. know he was born July 1903, doesn't give date

[Kay99]

One of the trees does list children and there is a photo if that helps

Hi Kay

Yes, saw that info, and have the photo

Looks like 3 daughters, although one died a few days old.

What's the best way to find out Walter's occupation when Daughters were born?

Scotland's People - Easy, not too sure about English equivilients?

[Kay99]

Birth certificates which you could order from the General Record Office https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/menu.asp  or you could try contacting one of the tree owners - particularly ones with photographs who may be closely related
