Find Ancestors

On Ancestry last night I found Walter on 1891, 1901 and 1911, haven't found a birth because it says on first census he is 14 yrs old, next one he's 21 years old and last one he's 26.

I am wanting to find out about him as my SIL has a large wooden trunck that belonged to him and wants to find out something about him, on 1911 census he is in the marines, but it doesnt show a number or anything.

Can anyone help please.

Many Thanks
Sandra

There are more than one Walter Pitchers.
How do you connect the ones you've found as all being the same person ?

There's this on for Norfolk but then you don't seem sure that's his birthplace

Births Dec 1888
PITCHER Walter Edward - Norwich 4b 1_8

If all you have is the trunk, how do you know he was born in Norfolk? Does the trunk have contents with more clues?

?????????

Births Sep 1878 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PITCHER Walter - Banbury 3a 791

On the census he has parents Edward and Maria, and my SIL is sure when his Mum tried to do research that was his parents, the family lived in Norfolk.

Thanks
Sandra

Gins that is the one, if you look at 1891, 1901 and 1911 you will see what I mean about ages

The Norwich one is the one I meant Mike. x

The ages match up for the 1891 and 1901 - 11 and 21

Gins Ancestry is down so dont have details but from memory last night he was in the military and was 26 years old and in the marine's
