General Notes
Was Walter born out of Wedlock? After arriving in Australia, he went by the name of Walter Dooley. Possibly of another mother or father, but unknown.
Walter did not record his fathers name on the marriage certificate, so realy he is unknown.
In 1901, he was the only one of the family to have left the family home. According to the 1901 census he was 24 when living with the family and his mother in law Emma Breeze in Newton Heath.
Cant find another marriage for Henry in Cheshire/ Lancashire area, but could have been a son of Henry when he was only about 14.
Its believed Walter came to Australia in 1910 with his family on the "Afric". Before arriving in Australia he had dropped the "Doxey" from his surname and changed his name to Walter Dooley according to the census in 1901. If this is the right man, then he was a mason and a protestant, as well as being short, bald and very round !
FindMyPast.com has records for Walter and Rebecca Dooley (with Charles, Norah and Thomas) departing Liverpool in 1910 to arive in Melbourne, Australia.
The only Walter Doxey to be found on the UK census records in 1911 is from Derbyshire, confirming he had probably left the UK by then.
Walter and Rebecca were married in a civil ceremony in December 1897 in Manchester.4
