His death was registered in the Stourbridge Registration District but do you have a copy of his death cert showing exactly where he was living when he died

These are all the areas covered by that RD

Where was he living in 1901?

[niikib]

He was living in wallows street,kingswinford.im not from that area,he died when his children were babies so nobody knew him.

Finally found him in 1901 living in 119 Wallace St Kingswinford Staffordshire which was in the Stourbridge RD.  Birthplace shown as Commonside Staffs

I will ask the moderator to move your post to the Staffs board

Hi

This link may help you find graves in the area, I have looked for Henry but cannot find him but you may find other members of his family.

Henry Walter's tree is on here Niikib:-

I see that Henry's children were born in Brockmore, the Parish Church there is St Johns, St Marks Pensnett.  I did see some Shakespeare burials when I was searching the St Michael's Brierley Hill Register this week, they were early 1800's but you could try there or St Mary Kingswinford.  Good luck from Linell.
