I am trying to crack the mystery of Walter Todman. I've had a lot of problems with his father but I think I've finally broken down that brick wall and am in the process of writing it up for inclusion on his profile. But his son Walter remains a big mystery. Here's what I know:-
Walter Todman was born 25 October 1890 in Newtown, New South Wales, Australia to Walter Todman, Blacksmith aged 25 & Jane, aged 31 [I]
Transcription of Birth Certificate
Child - Todman, Walter, male, Date of birth 25th October 1890, Place of birth 9 Bailey Street, Newtown
Parents of Child
Father - Walter Todman, Blacksmith 25 years, place of birth Norfolk, England

Date - Place and previous children of marriage - [left blank]
Informant - Jane Levey and Walter Todman, Mother and father, 9 Bailey Street, Newtown

I don't think his parents were married, but it appears that both were present at the time of his birth registration. Although I know a lot about his father as he is my direct ancestor I know almost nothing about his eldest son and his eldest son's mother Jane Levey I would love to know what became of them.
