Hi All,
I am looking to make contact with anyone who may have the above name on their tree. John Walter was my Gt. Grandfather.
He was " married " (no cert found as yet ) to my Gt. Grandma Mary GLANVILLE or HOSKING ( her Stepfather's surname) Mary GLANVILLE was born in 1854 at Saltash, Cornwall illigitimate child of Ann GLANVILLE b. 1832 in Saltash, Cornwall. I have all of the names of John Walter & Mary's children and most of their BMD certs plus Census.
