Serv: Emily Lewis 16 b Bow, MDX. (Which is an intersting blend of fact and fiction. Walter should show as b. Dumfries, and the occupation is rather a drastic change from the joiner he was in 1861 and 1901, but naming pattern of children, and proximity to what looks like brother Archibald fits, and the 1891 census clinches the id)
