WALTER William Chadwell St Mary?

[domino]

Hi All
Is anyone researching this family?
William Henry Walter b 30 Aug 1888c, was my Grandfather, married to Elizabeth Spunner b 21 Nov 1897 Gravesend Kent. This is just a long shot really....until I can get their marriage cert, I don't know where he was born!!
I have found 3 Williams, 2 from Islington and this one. This William, in the 1891 census was living at 40 Sydney Road, in the 1901 at 4 Sydney Road.
My Dads birth cert was registered in Orsett, the other 3 children in Gravesend. I do remember my Nan telling me, that my Dad was born in Dock Road, Tilbury. She had a photo of my Granddad, dressed in what was a waiters outfit, and he did work on the ships at one time. Which would tie in with the area.
Is Sydney Road still there....?  I know Dock Road is.
Best wishes......Iris (Gravesend Kent)

This post is probably long dead but........................Yes Iris, Sydney Road is still there and if the William Walter turned out to be yours he was living right next door to my gt grandparents in 1901

Thankyou for the reply
What a small world, it turned out to be the right William.
Did your gt grandparents stay in Essex or move over to Gravesend ?
Best Wishes..... Iris
