Have you got Walters Fathers name from Walters marriage certificate?
I cannot see a marriage for a Charles Davies to anyone called Bevan - the one in 1911 is the only one I can see.
I think you need to get Walters birth certificate to find the names of his parents.
I do not understand your last statement - never guess when someone was married or born from the age of their children.
Had a quick look for Charles Davies as a painter and decorator in 1911 - could not see one.

Correction:
This looks very interesting for 1911:
DAVIES, A H Head Married M 23 1888 Painter Wellington Shropshire
DAVIES, Mary Wife Married 1 years F 22 1889 Lancs Salford
DAVIES, Charles Son M 0 (1 MONTH) 1911 Lancs Manchester
BEVAN, Mary Boarder Widow F 61 1850 Lancs Chorley
BEVAN, Albert Boarder Single M 32 1879 Pit Brow Worker Lancs Salford
JOHNSON, Edward Boarder Single M 37 1874 Pit Brow Worker Lancs Salford

The address on the marriage cert is for the bride and Groom not the fathers, but that does'nt mean to say he did'nt live there aswell
