Yes that looks like him. I found a corresponding birth for him too in Brimingham which is where he married Hilda.

Looks like one son born 1940

It will be on FreeBMD


EDIT it isnt on FreeBMD so if you dont have it I will PM the info .

Maybe theres something in the fact that Walter was born in 1914. ??


his birth cert may give some clues

Yes that's the one.

How strange Ancestry wast finding it so from FreeBMD

Marriages Jun 1940
Edge Daniel F Seadon Birmingham 6d 1246

Seadon Hilda Edge Birmingham 6d 1246

Just found Elsie Wellum's brother Thomas James Wellum living in Smethwick too so I wonder whether Elsie went up there too along with the daughter Elsie.Elsie then staying there to marry Walter Hackett. Perhaps not all the children were given away?

Unfortunately I do not know when Hilda died. She married Daniel F Edge in Birmingham in 1940.

Still not locating anything for Hilda . Do you know when she died and was she married. if so who was her hubby please

Thatnks for the daughter Elsie's marriage and death. I had found that this afternoon. My grand aunt knew the husband was called Hackett. She said he was a famou cricketer. I did a quick google search and found a Walter William Hackett who was a cricketer in Smethwick which corresponds to Elsie and Walter's marriage place but his obituary states he died 1964, aged 89 - making him born 1875 which would be way too old I should think to be the guy who married Elsie. He does have a son called Walter Hackett born 1900 which would work out better age wise but I don't know whether he was a cricketer or not! I suppose my grand aunt could have that bit wrong!

Sorry Sarah (had to answer the telephone). I have edited that post to show that it probably wasn't him.

As has already been said, it may be worth splashing out on his birth certificate to find his father's name.

It certainly looks like his mother's "remarriage" that has been posted.

only 2 war dead but they arent claimed!

hopefully the cert will name her father.

does look like the parents weren't married though

That's interesting rootgatherer - does it say where he was from at all? EDIT - just found it - says he was living at Harringay. It does list a wife further on - Edith Emily Seadon so looks like it isn't the one.

As Walter was born around beginning of WWI I did wonder whether his father was killed in action or perphaps it was as simple as Walter being evacuated to High Wycombe to live with the Williams and he was never sent back to his parents after the war (or his parents didn't want him by then)?

Could be. I know that Walter's sisters lived further up the country. Hilda lived in Birmingham and got married there and Elsie May in Smethwick. I don't know where William lived but that death does correspond with his birth year in Essex so much be him.

Interesting Shirley and MarieCeleste, the man below cancelled the allowance to his wife in 1919. Alas it doesn't give any name or details for wife and children.
