Walter was the son of George and Sarah Ann (Miles) Stephens. He was born in Ruardian in the Forest of Dean in 1877 and his birth was registered in Westbury On Severn. (1) The 1881 census shows him living at 13 Alma Place, Gloucester, with his parents and siblings.(2)

By1891 the family had moved to 7 Ladywellgate Street, St Mary de Crypt, Gloucester although on census night his father, George, was not at that address but in the nearby Infirmary. (3) This census shows Walter, aged 14, employed as a brass turner. The 1901 census describes him as a'fitter engineer worker'. 4)

In 1904 Walter married Mabel Annie Berryman Luker at St Paul's, Gloucester (5) and in 1911 they were living in Brislington, Bristol where Walter was employed as an iron turner (6). Walter and Mabel subsequently moved back to Gloucester where their address was 24, Hartington Road. They had seven children; sadly, only five survived to adulthood.

Walter passed away in 1945.(7)
