Thanks AustinQ and Chris

So it looks like he was baptised Cheek So this means that he may not be Henry's son after all. Or was that the reason they got married.

If that is him in Canada which it could be he must have gone back to his birth name. It would also mean that on the 1861 and 71 census Henry lied about Walter surname. Also what is the betting that if I sent for Walters birth cert Henry's name would not be on it.

Thank you so much for finding that information for me. I think now I need to find out more about that service record if that is possible.

All the best

Thank you AustinQ, Shirley-i'm getting the hang of it and Chris for helping me. I think I will just have to keep on looking. One day I will find out what happened to him.

All the best

Not the 1851 birth:

CHORLEY, WALTER (Mother's maiden name: STONE )
GRO Reference: 1851 M Quarter in WELLINGTON (SOMERSET & DEVON) Volume 10 Page 531

AustinQ I can't see his birth either. Perhaps they did not register him. I wonder if its that one registered in 1851

Thanks for looking and his age is wrong

Jane

Hi Chris

Mary Ann Cheek and Henry Chorley are his parents.

The parents of the Walter (Shirley found ) born in williton were James and Emma Chorley.

I do not have Walter born in Bedminster birth cert or any information on his baptism. I also believe he was an only child.

Thanks Chris for all your help

Jane

I don't see his birth?

Edit. Posts crossed

Hi shirley-i'm getting the hang of it.

I had a look at that walter. I do not think he is mine. One of the census has that Walter born in Williton and mine was born in bedminster.

It could be right but I am not convinced.

thanks for helping me
