Find Ancestors

I have decided to get copies of the census' and hopefully find Edwin.

Thank you everyone for your time and effort it is very much appreciated

Thank you for that I will see what I have on my tree and add it. So maybe the one with Florence could be Edwin, I know that Florence lived at 37, Malvern Gardens all of her married life and he did live with her and sometimes her sister Caroline which is the other 1921 I found. I will have to get both copies to see where he is .

As the 1921 transcriptions seem rather unreliable, I think this is Cedric Thomas Arthur Walter - born London, living in Willesden:

Cedric Thomas
Arther
1918

There's no such birth, and no other Arthers anywhere in 1921.
I think the transcriber has assumed Arthur/Arther to be his surname instead of a middle name.

He's said to be with Thomas, Maud, and one other - not Florence, Kathleen , etc.



Maud Walter
1887 - with Thomas 1886, Dorothy, and 1 other


Thomas
Walter
1886 - with Maud, Dorothy, and 1 other.


Dorothy's middle name has similarly been taken to be her surname.

Dorothy
Nancy
1916
Seaford, Sussex, England - with Thomas, Maud & 1 other.

WALTER, DOROTHY NANCY mmn WILLIAMS

Thomas & Maud's marriage:

Marriages Dec 1915 (>99%)
Walter Thomas Williams Willesden 3a 648
Williams Maud O Walter Willesden 3a 648

Thank you I will find that and add it to my tree

Thanks Erica I think the best thing I can do is get a copy of the two options I have for him and we will see.

No result when I search 1921 for Cedric..................

No matter which of the three records I 'hover' over, only the names Florence, Henry and Kathleen are shown. Each has 'one other'

WALTER, CEDRIC THOMAS ARTHUR WILLIAMS
GRO Reference: 1918 S Quarter in WILLESDEN Volume 03A Page 359

The other would be Kathleen's brother Cedric methinks

Florence, Henry and Kathleen are on 1921 plus 'one other' - in Willesden

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Walter Kathleen M F Williams Willesden 3a 571

Oh brilliant Erica thank you that is them. They are with his foster sister Florence
