It's a sad story. Mum died early 1893 after being pregnant almost constantly since 1877 with 3 sets of twins thrown in.
Dad then lost the plot, assuming he hadn't prior. He was in court at the Old Bailey by Oct 1893 on charges of child neglect and assaulting and raping (again) his daughter. I can't find his first rape charge but she was only 14.
In 1894 the children are in the workhouse having been abandoned, Dad may or may not be in prison but no one is sure.
By 1901 some of the younger children are in some sort of home which doesn't even know where they were born.
I think Walter emigrates to Canada according to an ancestry tree. One of the older brothers had told the workhouse he wanted to emigrate so maybe Walter followed when he was old enough.
A bit depressing really. I want to delete the father off the tree.
