In the above census, Walter's wife Catherine (Kate) and his son Earnest (Walter Ernest) are living with Catherine's parents. Also on the 1891 census Catherine and her son Walter E CHILD are still living with her mother in Bollin Fee, Wilmslow, so we would assume that Walter and Catherine were separated.
