unsure on birth

Question

I have added Walter Bishop into my tree but unsure of which birth is his. He was born in 1874, Woolvington, Somerset and was the son of Henry and Emma Bishop(nee reasons)

I am certain of the 1881 census below but a bit stuck with the rest of it as to where he is and not sure if he married

Answer 2

This question is a little difficult to answer.

Walter' birth was registered as Walter Charles Bishop (Bridgewater 5c/415 q March 1874). Mothers maiden name listed as Dummett. The birth of his brother, Clifford lists the mothers maiden name as Dommett. Herbert's registered as Dummet.

Walter's Baptism:

The 1871 Census for Henry & Emma, lists an Isabella Dumment, born 1858 as niece. I believe this Isabella to be stepsister to Walter. I believe Isabella died in 1875, as Isabella Dummet

Answer 3

It seems likely, Walter entered Military service from this entry in Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900:

Name Walter Bishop

Age 18

Birth Date abt 1874

Birth Place Huntspill, Somersetshire

Military Date 27 Jun 1892

Unit 97th Foot Soldiers

As Betty answered, Walter married in 1906, Minnie Sophia Baker. Minnie was born in Huntspill, Somerset in 1886. It would seem likely, that Walter and Minnie had a daughter born in 1905, Alice Ivy Bishop Baker. This is her baptism:
