Walter was my great-grandfather, he married Florence Bellette on 26th Jan 1886.

I have a photograph of Walter and Florence and also have a copy of his Death Certificate.

Wonder why he had the name of Dalton when his mother was Catherine McGilvray?

I would like to claim Orphan number 1355 , Walter Dalton as my Second Great Grandfather, based on information obtained in my recent Family Tree research.

I would also like to claim Orphan number 1352, Charles Dalton.       If  Charles is the Older brother of Walter , as in your records. His Mothers name + Father > * unamed Dalton.

and  Mothers , ship > Anna - Maria  . all match with details I have discovered recently.  thanks Craig Newell.  dated  12 feb 2022
