If Walter is the one on 1901 census with parents of Frederick and Ellen then he is listed as soldier

But there is also this marriage

Walter C in 1901 is listed as single - Could he have split from his first wife?

Not getting anywhere with this at the moment

What is the occupation of Walter on the birth cert ?

What is the address on the birth cert ?

Good spot

In 1891 the Sawyer's had a daughter Maude and the father in law was a Richard Wilson. I wonder if this could be the connection to Arthur Henry

You could be right

Pepper William Henry Tendring 4a 519
Sawyer Henry Tendring 4a 519
Wilson Maria Tendring 4a 519

So that makes your 1911 posting very interesting but where are Walter and Maude

Possible that Henry and Maria married after Maude's birth - there is a birth in the name of Wilson in 1883 - and Maude retained her birth name

Edit - Sorry we crossed - but as you say where were the couple in 1911 or indeed did they stay together

1901 the family are listed as SAWZER

With Maude possibly listed as Maira ??
