Thanks Mel
His birthdate is approx 1884 sometimes 1883 and he was born in Fulham London. I am sure he would have departed perth or rather the port of fremantle to return to England

Hi Root

??, George P Walden was born Oct 1885 and the brother of Walter, their father was also a Walter....

Tracey x

Sorry Tracey - I was looking at the baptism that you posted - the one that was the father and aunt of the Walter being looked for.

I have caught up now - I think! The Walter in the 1881 census with father George (the Basketmaker) had a son George P. in 1886 who was the brother of the Walter that went off to Australia. Is this correct please?

Tracey I feel great you have given me 3 addresses I didn't have The other information you gave is accurate.The witness George is his uncle and Louisa is his aunt.
I have only been able to find a boarding list with Sarah and a male infant, her son who did not survive the trip. There was no reference to a husband or walter l walden by name. It might be an oversight or he may have trvelled at a different.time. Thats the information I am trying to find.
Thanks again for your great efforts..............colin

Walter Levi the elder's father was George P Walden and mother was EDITH.

Sister was Georgina....

As far as i'm aware George P & Edith only had Walter and Georgina.

So i think the top census is correct....

Colin hasn't indicated they had more children than that?

Hi Colin

Do you have a copy of Walter & Sarah's marriage cert?


Tracey x

Could he have returned by 1911

There are these people on the 1911 census. what were Walter's parents names?

HOUSEHOLD WALDEN ALFRED M 1899 12 Fulham London
HOUSEHOLD WALDEN ALICE F 1886 25 Fulham London

HOUSEHOLD WALDEN JAMES M 1897 14 Fulham London
HOUSEHOLD WALDEN WALTER M 1866 45 Fulham London

Is this Walter (Senior)'s marriage?
If so has Ellen been mistranscribe as Ealain in 1911?
