Walter Eli Bedder

Hi All,

I'm having trouble tracking down some information about Walter Eli Bedder, born 1859 in Foleshill.

I can find him in the 1881 census in Leicester, and also in marriages where he married Charlotte Shear in Liverpool in 1883.

Charlotte shows up in the 1891 census in Preston, but there is no mention of Walter Eli in the 1891 census (or later). I found a death in 1882 that could be Walter Eli but the age at death on the record in GR says 0.

Could this be a mistake on the record?

Thanks

Steve
