George Walter, Royal Marines
This is the sum total of all I know of George:

Note that it took several years to marry after he started a family and his wife, too, like Topsy "just growed"

On that 1861 census it gives his birthplace as Oxfordsh Wadlington.

Probably meaning Watlington.

So this seems likely to be him on the 1841 census since it is in Watlington:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...ce&pId=9412835 Age 14, son of Amelia, siblings Ann, Mary, Charles, Mercy. Don't know whether that is the one you had already found? |

John and Amelia are together in Watlington in 1851 but George isn't with them:

That's what I thought to start with, Kite, but that child appears to have died in 1846.
I find it interesting that John senior is away from home on that date. I do wonder whether he was either a philanderer or just hiding in plain sight.

What 1846 death / burial are you looking at, please?

Hmm. The one every one with an Ancestry tree has chosen. The George who is buried in Oxford in 1846. But actually looks as if he might be the son of George and Kerrenhappuch. Off to check....

Henley would be the civil registration district for Watlington.
I think this is "George"'s baptism record: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...9c1&pId=845860 Full name Philip George Comely Walters. Parents John (a labourer) and Amelia. |
