Continuing from previous frame….
It looks like Walter married in 1924 in Alberta but I have only been able to find his bride Carla Helen Caswell in the index, not Walter himself.
1926 Prairie Census. Still in Alberta.
https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?id=e011260443&app=census1926&op=img1931 Census. Walter, Clara, 2 children. Walter says he was born at sea again.
https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?id=e011752282&app=census1931&op=imgWalter apparently died in British Columbia in 2001…Findagrave entry. Father Bert Pegg is mentioned. This info is apparently taken from his death record. Death record gives his birthdate as 01 Jan 1907, birthplace England. Father Bert Pegg.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u46/Death records can be found here. Use Walter Bert Allen, Clara Helen Allen.
https://search-collections.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/GenealogyWe know from the senior Bertie’s CEF record that he apparently knew where his daughter Hilda was. It appears he also must have had contact with his son. Walter Bert Allen crossed the border from Alberta to Idaho USA in 1937 or 8. He was still living in Edmonton Alberta at the time. Wife Clara back where he came from. He was in transit to Victoria British Columbia and was travelling to visit Bertie Pegg who I assume is his natural father. The image for this record can be found on ancestry.
Well, this is the tale of the baby on the boat as I see it.
Lots of food for thought…..
