Good result then! I wonder if the two Walters are related, cousins maybe?
I didn't really do anything, it was the others who did all the donkey work.

In my experience Helen/Ellen/Eleanor are often used for the same person.

Hi guys,iv found a record 1901 census.i think its the same family,only problem is that Walter's wife is listed as Helen!! i think its possible that at the time the person who took the record could have made a mistake and written down Helen instead of Ellen.i can only find 2 marriages that fit the time and place ,Ellen Hopper and Eleanor Lewis ,what do you think? any ideas?
