Walter Harrison born 30th Jun 1892

[avidt]

Hi I am trying to trace the baptism and parents of Walter Harrison who according to the 1939 census was born 30th June 1892 and was widowed and living in Stoke Prior.

He married Ida M Spencer in Upton in 1892, but I have been unable to trace him any further. There was a Walter born that year in Droitwich but it does not seem to be the right person. Any help would be much appreciated

Many thanks David

Walter can be found with his father in 1901 and 1911 and has an older brother Ernest, presumably the witness at the wedding. I'm having some issues finding birth registrations for the siblings

Not sure of mother's maiden name, as both the potential spouses for Richard Thomas Harrison's marriage in 1867 are called Mary (and the other groom is called Thomas Harrison)

Not sure why I didn;t find him

Works with Mary Smith as a potential spouse for Richard

Some of Walter's siblings are registered as Harrisson, hence the difficulties
