Jeanette, Gillian has put the death index for Walter.
I put the birth index Vol 9b Page 106 They look to be the same person. Does not show mother. Cannot find a marriage index for Walter.
Found a marriage in 1907 for Samuel Sugden and Edith Mcnamee in Bradford. Walter turned up before the ceremony.
MCNAMEE Edith Bradford Yorkshire 1907 Jul-Aug-Sep 9b 333
and 1911 census they are living at 30 Robert St Bfd
SUGDEN, Samuel Head Married 4 years M 27 1884 Horse Driver Bradford
SUGDEN, Edith Wife F 23 1888 Bradford
SUGDEN, Walter Son M 4 1907 Bradford
SUGDEN, Amy Daughter F 2 1909 Bradford
Bye

You should have added your other queries regarding this man to this thread rather than starting new ones. That way it keeps all the information together.

In Community, on the left of the page you will see the heading "Tools". Click on "My Thread Participation". That will take you to the threads that you have posted. When you or anyone else adds a reply it brings them back to the front page of the trying to find board.

Hope this helps as the rules are one thread per family. This saves helpers looking for information that has already been "found". e.g. Samuel Sugden and his wife and children on the 1911 census.

Good Luck.
