Entry in FreeBMD for the birth of Walter Crutcher in April-June 1898 in I. Wight (2b 574).
In the 1901 census as Wlater (sic - in the index, correct on the original) Ayres aged 2, born in Cowes, Isle of Wight, and living with his mother (Betsey Ayres), and two brothers (Isaac and Mark) who were boarding with Mark Crutcher in four rooms at 3 Orchard Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, Hampshire.
In the 1911 census as Walter Crutcher aged 13 and living with Mark and Betsy (parents?), Albert, Henry, Isaac, James and Mark (brothers?) and Anna Bella (sister?) in Isle of Wight, Hampshire.
Note that if his parents are correct they did not marry until 1932. His mother's name is in some doubt - she was officially called Betsy, but many believe her full name was Elizabeth Mary although I have seen no evidence of this. Her surname had many different spellings.
