Ive come to a halt with the Walters in Wolverhampton. Harry Walters died 1917 aged 38 in the war married to Mary Walters nee tomkiss and had two children James Walters 1905 - 1998 and Violet Walters 1908 - 1999. I cant find any record and was wondering if any one else has a connection or any other information? |

Interesting fact...James Walters born 1906 fled to Canada around 1929 we think..he never came back for unknown reasons...however he had a child called Gordon Walters 1931 - 2009 who my grandad kept in touch with (Christmas cards etc).We found the memorial internet page for Gordon in Canada. Although, we never did know if James went to Canada with the person he married in England or remarried in Canada. I have tried to find the shipping details and come across a James in 1929 but the mother and father names are wrong. I still do not know if Gordon had children and if we have family over there. |

Are you sure about that marriage? It's just that when he left England in 1929 the address he gave was the same as the address he gave for his mother when he arrived in Canada making it seem that he was living with his mother. |

My grandad remembers, but we are unsure about the reason he left as it could of been because he had an affair. If the reason was because he had an affair then that would explain why he didn't put the married home address. However, if there is no such record that they were not married, maybe they weren't. Its a tricky one. I am looking in to whether lily is another name for something else, because I know they used to do that. Thank you for looking and hopefully I will get to the bottom of it. :-S |
