From earlier census, I think that Georgina and Walter were the youngest of several children! Walter must be elsewhere on this one.

OOoooh nice find!

I'll see if i can find any baptisms to go with the list lol

EDIT: Nope just those 2....

T xx

Sorry Colin - I know that it is moving away a bit from your original query but I am just trying to get the family clear in my head.

It looks like George the builder is a son of George the Basketmaker and therefore a brother of Walter (Senior) and Uncle to Walter that went to Australia - I think! (She Chuckles!)

I think you are up against a Scottish problem here in that all brothers name sons for their fathers and daughters for their mothers!! And the fact that your family pretty well stayed in the same are when they married..........



EDIT

There are 4 pages of Waldens in Fulham on the 1911 census!

Colin

Have you got a tree on Ancestry with these people on? This data is on someone's tree, maybe indicating they never returned?

Charles William Walden
Birth 18 oct 1911 in north fremantle
Death 30 nov 1946 in perth w.a. aus

Parents, Walter Levi Walden & Sarah Wilson....

This would suggest they never came home?


Tracey x

To add to my last thread, Sarah died in Aus.

Sarah Wilson.
Birth 8 oct 1884 in hammersmith london eng
Death 7 may 1949 in maylands w.a. aus

No other data on Walter Levi Walden, did he leave her behind and come home alone?

Interestingly - when you search for births for Walter L* Walden on freeBMD, this is what you get.

I wonder if "Levi" was sometimes just added on??

Tracey - I think it is back to the comments on the other thread about the 1916 marriage to Annie A Cox! I think Colin needs to buy both those marriage certificates for Walter Levi Walden.

Tracey - I've nudged the other thread for you.

Thanks Root i'll take a look..... i didn't realise there were 2 threads!

Grrr....

I know there is another Walter L Walden floating about, different father, i'll see if i can dig the baptism out.

once again Grrr

Hmmm

Another tree has this...

Madge Jane Walden
Birth 1914 in perth Western Australia
Death in maylands

Parents Walter Levi Walden & Sarah Wilson.... so they were there in 1914 still!

I think you have all been wonderful. I will try to put it into perspective, Geo P the builder 1820 had 7 children this is not important. Walter levi Walden 1866 was in that generation and he and ellen strong had 6 children the first of these was Walter levi Walden 1884 the man in question. He married sarah wilson in fulham 1904 Another Walter levi 1905 1906 a James 1908 1909 and Sidney 1909 1910 who died enroute to Fremantle Aus. were born and died. Sarah and her infant were shown on a passenger list in 1910 but no sign of Walter. However he made it to perth Aus. because the first surviving child my father chas wm weeks was born in 1911 Forget the surname which is the one I also incorrectly carry because Chas Wm's birth cert shows walter and sarah together and we should carry the Walden name The next child is a guess but I am sure that madge Jane Weeks was also a Walden B. in 1914. Now for some reason Walter decided to return to fulham. My best guess is it would be any time from mid 1914 but in time to marry annie Cox in 1916. There you have it ; a potted history of Walters life and he is still in his ealy 30's. I hope this makes sense and you can understand why I am trying to track his movements. Questions about the marriage to sarah and whether a divorce was ever obtained are questions to be answered..Although she lived with Tom Weeks they did not marry until 1940 I hope this helps.

I think the descendants of George P. (the basket weaver) may have produced more than 1 Walter Walden. So really without buying the certificates you wouldn't know which one belongs to which branch!

If Walter was still in Australia in 1914 it is unlikely that the 1916 marriage in Fulham is his remarriage!

Ive just reread rootgatherers 1911 census which appears a little muddled. However it looks like Walter 1866 and ellen's house with their sons james and alf.
What worries me is the reference to Walter 1885 and Alice F Walden who don't fit into the picture. Is it Walter Levi 1883/4 back temporarily from Aus, and if so who isAlice F Walden?
Are they another family line visiting? Or does Walter levi 1883/4 work on a boat that gives him access to england and australia. Theres more questions than answers at the moment and its nearly midnight here. I,m going to bed Bye for now

I think Root may have confused you there a little, they are not all in the same household!

Like it has been suggested before there are more than 1 Walter Walden floating about!!!!

Looks like that Walter either wasn't married to Alice or they married elsewhere! This is the only Walter / Alice marrige between 1900 and 1910!
