  • Notes  Married:
    • Their fathers were both boatmen in the 1850s and 60s in Oxford and probably knew each other. It's easy to imagine that Walter and Mary Ann were childhood friends.

    Census:
    • He is described on the census as a widower living with his son William, daughter Clara Louisa, and an 18 year old servant girl named Agnes Oliver.
