the House of Stratford.
Walter Stratford was born in Gloucestershire, England.
Walter was a Roman Catholic.
Walter, child of William Stratford & Ann Stratford, was baptised on 26 December 1672 in Barton on the Heath, Warwickshire, England.[1]
At the age of about 13, he was reportedly taken away from his father by Katherine Overbury, widow of Nicholas Overbury (his maternal uncle). The court case noted that "when he (William) demanded him of her, her Answer was, That she would take care of him, and that he should never have him again: And that the said Mr. Stratford brought a Writ de Homine replegiando against the said Mrs. Overbury, for his Son: The effect of which Prosecution was, That his Son was delivered to him by Sir Richard Allibone, on Sunday the Thirteenth Day of March 1686: And that his Son then told him, he believed he was maintained by Mrs. Overbury: But that he went away, the next Day from his Father's, without his Knowledge; and that he has not seen him since, but is informed his Son is at St. Omers." [2] St Omer was a college set up in France, specifically to educate English Roman Catholics. [3]
