Hi, i am having trouble finding my great-great grandad Walter Booth's parents and siblings.
He was born in Bristol 1862 and in the 1881 census he was a private at Horfield barracks.
I would be grateful for any help

Hi Steve,

I think I have found him on the 1871 Census see under....

28 Unity St. Bristol

BOOTH, William, head, mar. 34, Clog Maker, b. Ashton under Lyme
BOOTH, Mary, wife, mar, 34, b. Glosop?
BOOTH, John, son, 14, Clog Maker, b. Glosop?
BOOTH, James, son, 13, b. Glosop?
BOOTH, Walter, son, 9, b. Bristol *****
BOOTH, Alice, daur, 7, b. Bristol
BOOTH, Louisa, daur, 5, b. Bristol

Hope that is a help? It was the only one that came up with the year of birth and in Bristol.

Steve,

Is this the Walter BOOTH, Clogger, who is married to Esther Ann and living in Linthwaite, Yorkshire in the 1891 census? If so, there appears to be a marriage registration in the September qtr 1884 at Ashton under Lyne reg district, vol 8d, page 610 for a Walter BOOTH and a corresponding one for Esther Ann HIBBERT which would fit in quite well with the age of their eldest child on the 1891 census.

There is a Walter BOOTH in the 1871 census of St Philip & Jacob, Bristol who may well be yours:

RG10/2524, folio 47, page 10
28 Unity Street

William BOOTH Head Mar 34 Clog Maker Ashton under Lyne
Mary do Wife Mar 34 Glossop
John do Son 14 do
James do Son 13 do
Walter do Son 9 Bristol
Alice do Daur 7 do
Louisa do Daur 5 do

However, to check that you are going down the right path, I would advise you to send off for Walter's marriage certificate which will then give you his father's name and profession.
