Do you know where he was born and who his parents were? There are lots of John Walters born around that time.

This marriage is in the right place and at about the right time so is a good possibility:-

Thanks Kath, looks like you found the marriage!

Selena

hi both got a bit of a dilemer John is my husbands father we know he was born 1891 but that is about it can only find 2 birth 1 in Wales P ontypridd and this one in Swindon he did get married in 1924 in Dover to a Charlotte Mitchell but i am more interested in finding his right birth help

Sorry dont have time to post the details but in 1891 the family are under Walter and Ellen is Johns mother. John is 2/12 months

For info he was John R Walters on his marrige in 1924.

So was he married twice?

Was he a widower on his marriage to Charlotte in 1924?

Can anyone find him on the 1891 or his father etc?

Selena

don't think the Welsh one is him as in the 1901 census his father and mother listed but no child

Okay so the birth I found for you on the IGI in 1889 is that correct or not?

Who is his father on his marriage certificate to Charlotte in 1924?

Selena

marriage cert says batchelor but was not married to my husbands mother

father john richard walters deceased on marriage cert

Births Mar 1891
WALTER John Highworth 5a 37

The district Highworth is in the county of Wiltshire

Note it is Walter no S.

So I am really confused, first you say his dad is Fred (1901) , then you say it is Walter (1891) and now you say his dad is John!

Maybe I have misunderstood.

Do you think I have given the correct birth above in Highworth?

Highworth registration district was succeeded by Swindon so the birth in Highworth seems to be right for the family with Fred and Ellen as parents.

However, I too am confused by who John's father is supposed to be.

Are yo certain that the person marrying in 1924 to Charlotte was your father-in-law?

really sorry to confuse you all i know is he was born 1891 don,t know where he was in the army for years and was walter there later added the s he was married to Charlotte Browning BUT carlotte was Mitchell on marriage cert widow marriage took place in Dover 1924 then he left her and lived with my husbands mother and they had 2 children my husband and his sister i was begining to think he was an ALIEN

How do you kno he was born in 1891 if you have't found his birth reference?

If you are sure he married Charlotte in 1924 then you are looking for a John R, Walter or Walters.

Kath. x

Definately my father in law as it is stated in his army records married to Charlotte my mother in law also knew of the marriage on that marriage cert says father john richard walters do you think he was lying

army record says born 1891 he was walter in the army for some time then it changed to walters we thought a mistake having no S as to our knowledge always had an S
