Rita, have found a Walter Richards (born Rotherhide about 1869) on 1901 for you but there is no mention of an Elizabeth as wife. Wife is called Agnes. If you think it's the same Walter, let me have your email address. Brenda

Hi everyone - Thanks for speedy response. Albeit that Walter had a wife Elizabeth and son Walter (born 1891) on the 1891 census, I have asked Sylvia to send me an image and have sent her my email addy. Walter junior died in 1896 aged 4. His death cert. has been ordered. I am now wondering what happened to Walter Sen. and wife Elizabeth if they are not on the 1901. Much obliged to you all. Rita
