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

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 ?

Have you found a death for Walter ?

Were his parents married?
