Kevin, how does this baptism fit with the details from Walter & Caroline's marriage certificate?

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: Caroline Jane Wright
Record Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 24 Mar 1862
Baptism Date: 20 Jul 1862
Father's name: Charles Wright < Labourer
Mother's name: Caroline Wright
Parish or Poor Law Union: South Lambeth St Barnabas
Borough: Lambeth
Address: 2 Wheatsheaf Lane

Baptised at the same time was sister Harriet Amy, born 26 June 1856.

** If we get Caroline's family right it might be worth tracking in later years to see if she turns up with any of them.

I think this thread - http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/1267340 may be about Walter's sister, but doesn't duplicate anything on here.

Can anyone help with getting me through a brick wall.

Im trying to find records of a Walter Charlie Stark.

Walter was born in Stratford,Essex November 1861.
He is on the 1871 and 1881 census.
He married Caroline Jane Wright in Kempley,Glos on 29-4-1886.
All the above is clear as glass,however after the marriage he and Caroline go missing as far as i can see.
If its any help Walter was a Fireman on the railways (as in shoveling coal)
Also,i know his sister emmergrated to Adelaide in 1912 but died shortly after arrival. Could she have gone there because Walter was there ?

Thankyou in advance. Kevin
