Is it possible that this is the baptism for Walter: "England, Leicestershire Parish Registers, 1533-1991," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP43-X1CQ : 6 June 2018), Walter Raymond Blunt, 4 Oct 1897; records extracted by findmypast, images digitized by FamilySearch; citing Baptism, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom, page 151, Citing the Record Office of Leicestershire, Leicester, and Rutland, Wigston, UK.
This could be his birth registration here: (A search result on [1] adds a mothers maiden name : BRAILSFORD) "England and Wales Birth Registration Index, 1837-2008," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2F7D-468 : 1 October 2014), Walter Raymond Blunt, 1897; from "England & Wales Births, 1837-2006," database, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : 2012); citing Birth Registration, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, citing General Register Office, Southport, England.
If so, then this could be him in the 1901 census: "England and Wales Census, 1901," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS4G-LNN : 21 May 2019), Walter R Blunt in household of Arthur H Blunt, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom; from "1901 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing South Leicester subdistrict, PRO RG 13, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.
And again in the 1911 census: "England and Wales Census, 1911," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X75N-DKF : 18 July 2019), Walter Raymond Blunt in household of Arthur Henry Blunt, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom; from "1911 England and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO RG 14, The National Archives of the UK, Kew, Surrey.

I searched to see if Arthur Henry Blunt married Ellen...could she have been maiden name BRAILSFORD, and I found this record: "England, Leicestershire Parish Registers, 1533-1991," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP4H-FX5B : 6 June 2018), Artthur Henry Blunt and Ellen Brailsford, 12 May 1889; records extracted by findmypast, images digitized by FamilySearch; citing Marriage Banns, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom, page 50, citing the Record Office of Leicestershire, Leicester, and Rutland, Wigston, UK.
Kindest regards, Pam
Many thanks for your research. I believe your questions about Walter Blunt's parents to be correct. I am trying to merge Walter Raymond Blunt's two entries now. He did tell my mother that we were related to a historian who was once imprisoned. I am absolutely sure that he was referring to Wilfred Scawen Blunt (1840-1922). I am trying to find out where our families are linked. Best regards, Richard Burton.
