There is not a maiden name on the Census.  It shows the following:
Snow, Walter, male, Head, married, birth Apr 1875, age 36, birthplace England, profession laborer;
Snow, Matilda, female, Wife, married, birth Feb 1881, age 30, birthplace England;
Snow, Walter, male, Son, single, birth Aug 1903, age 7, birthplace England; Snow, George, male, Son, single, birth Jul 1906, age 4, birthplace England; Snow, Beatrice, female, Dau, single, birth Aug 1910, 10/12 mos., birthplace Ontario.
The immigration list (1909) of shows the destination as Brantford for Matilda, Walter and George.  The senior Walter must have already been there.
 

Thanks so much.  I was aware of the passenger list and it makes sense that these are the Snow's on the 1911 Census in Brantford, ON.  Our problem is connecting the Walter Snow from there to Albert.  The funeral home is throwing us off because they have a birthdate of 12 Aug 1905.  So either Walter Snow wanted to shave a couple of years off his age for some reason or he just didn't know.  And unfortunatley we don't know from the census if it actually was a Leicester birth.  My reason for looking that way was because the elder Walter on the Brantford census, joined the Canadian Army and the paper shows his birthplace as Leicester.  I have searched long and hard and there are no other records of Walter Snow's in Canada with a father named Walter.  Or even any born about 1903-5 for that matter!

Hello,
My first ever post!!!  Took me a long time to find this page and hope I will be able to find any replies!  If I am lucky enough to get some!

My request for assistance is for a friend Albert Snow whose father Walter Snow left the marriage when  Albert was a baby.  It has been very difficult finding anything that makes sense but we are thinking that Walter Snow who died in Hamilton, ON, Canada on 28 Nov 1971, may have been born in Leicester about 1903 to another Walter Snow and unknown mother's name.

This is a bit of a stretch from the 1911 Census of Canada and have no real  proof so am wondering if there might be some parish records for us to check without having to pay a professional?
Thanks for any help.
