Walter Burns

[bomber]

There is a Walter Burns on the Regent Road Memorial, 2145 Manchester Regiment 1/7th Battalion. On the CWGC, his father is listed as Walter off 47 New Park Road Salford.

Walter died aged 20 in 1915, so he was born about 1895.

I have a Walter Burns marrying an Annie Crabtree on 16th Feb 1895, at St.Matthews Campfield, and I wonder if they had a Son called Walter.

Walter and Annie appear seperatley on every Census but the 1901 one, I have searched their Parents just in case there is a Walter with them, but by 1901 the Burns grandparents have died.

Can anyone find Walter with Walter and Annie as his Parents.

There is one other Walter in Salford, and his Father isn't Walter, think its John.

Any Help appreciated

That one isn't mine, if thats from the 1911 Census.

Walter and Annie (mine) only got married in 1895, which means they would only have been married 16 years by the 1911.

So, the above could be the family of the man, on the Regent Road Memorial
