Hooton family search

[crankyvet]

Hi all,Im trying to trace family members relating to Walter Hooton (d.o.b unknown) He married Betsy (nee Fletcher) & had three daughters, Mary, Elizabeth and Florence.The family moved from Yarmouth to Long Eaton soon after Mary was born on 4 Feb 1869 & Walter then entered the lace trade until his death in 1909.I have an oil painting that is dated 1888 and signed by L.Hooton? I have no idea who this is. I do have a copy of the "Seal of henry de Hooton, Lord of Hooton"granted  in the reign of King John.This is in a Fletcher family tree book & all related.If anyone is able to assist in anyway at all it would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks.

Do you have Walter on census with a birth year and birth place, if so what was it?

When did he marry Betsy?  The marriage should show who his father was.

I do not see the family on the 1861 census but 1871, the mothers name has changed, so
must be a different family, however beware two Walters about.
