Walter & Eva Winchester

[fo55ie]

Dear Rootschat

Please could I request assistance in finding Walter William Winchester and Eva Winchester (nee Jones), after 1920

They were married at Grosse Pointe Wayne County Michigan USA on 5th Feb 1919

On the 1920 USA Census there are recorded as living in Wayne County Michigan

Walter was born in Marske, Yorkshire England in 1874 but had we believed that he maybe have been "younger" when he married Eva Jones

Eva was born in about 1896 Llandyssil Montgomeryshire Wales and emigrated to USA with her family (Sisters Elsie & May, Parents Richard & Alice) in the early 1900's

Any help to find Walter & Eva after 1920's would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Regards
Chris

I cannot find them after 1920.  Just to state facts (in case it helps locate them after 1920):
Border Crossing from Canada to the U.S., arriving September 1916, Walter Winchester, age 41, St Car Motorman, born Marske.  Final destination: Detroit, Michigan.

I'll have another look later tonight.

Were there two Walters?
1920 Detroit Ward 21, Wayne Co., Michigan
Walter W Winchester, age 37, born England, immigrated 1905, Foreman, Ascel or Axel Co.
Eva, wife, age 24, born England, immigrated 1913
740 Drexel Avenue

WWI Draft Card
Walter Winchester, born October 7(?), 1874
Address: 182 Glover Avenue, Detroit; Declared Alien, British
Mrs. Lillian Winchester, wife
General Foreman, Maxwell Motor Car Co.
Medium height, medium build, blue eyes, dark hair
September 12, 1918

There are no deaths on the social security index for a Walter Winchester, born October 7 (between 1873 and 1885).  I do not see a Lillian or Eva, born prior to 1899.

Someone on another site posted the WWI information.  They also added that he was born Walter William Winchester Vicborn.  He apparently died in 1963 in New York/Canada.

I cannot find him either as a Winchester or as a Vicborn, I'm sorry.

Thank you for looking for them in Canada, Sandra.  I didn't try that.

I wonder if this was Lillian's son?
