Here is Walter in 1901

Sarah Swindale Head W 39 Lincs Langton
Walter Swindale Son S 9 Lincs Boston
1 Mountain's Pass, Boston, Lincolnshire
RG13/3046 Ed 14 Folio 81 Page 26 Sched 197

Have you got Walter's birth certificate, that will give the name of his father?

Walter Hickson Swindale Q3 1891 Boston 7a 423

BTW from past experience in Lincolnshire research there are several Langtons.

You can either right to the Registrar's Office in Boston, the address can be found here

or you can order it online from the GRO website.

The certificate will also give Sarah's maiden name.

Given Walter's middle name there's a strong chance that this is Sarah in 1881 but the certificate will confirm or disprove that.

Thomas C. Weightman Head M 27 Farmer Wragby, Lincoln
Annie Weightman Wife M 25 Binbrook, Lincoln
Percy T. Weightman Son 7 months Wragby, Lincoln
Sarah Hickson Serv U 19 General Servant Langton, Lincoln
Sarah Sheard Serv U 15 Nurse Maid Stainfield, Lincoln
Lincoln Road, Wragby, Lincolnshire
RG11/3247 ED 1 Folio 11 Page 15 Sched 83

This family looks to be connected in some way.

James Swindall Head M 40 General Dealer Legbourne, Lincolnshire
Betsey Swindall Wife M 29 Langton, Lincolnshire
Beatrice Swindall Dau 7 Scholar Langton, Lincolnshire
Joseph Davison Lodger W 43 Brewer Langton, Lincolnshire
Drainside Willoughby Row, Skirbeck, Lincolnshire
RG12/2575 ED 22 Folio 98 Page 17 Sched 124

Beatrice was illegitimate
Births Jun 1883 HICKSON Beatrice Swindale Lincoln 7a 577

Deaths Q4 1893 SWINDALE James Boston 7a 304 age 50

I wouldn't be suprised to find that Betsey and Sarah are one and the same to be honest.

Here is Beatrice in 1901

Charlotte L Nicholson Head W 48 Living on own means Warwick Coventry
