  Notes	1891 census: at Dakenham Corner, cottage, Rackheath, Walter (34, ag lab), Caroline M (39), Rebekah E M THROWER* (12, scholar), Arthur W J (8, scholar) and Ernest Ed. (6, scholar). * Rebekah was correctly Rebecca. She appears here as Rebecca Elizabeth M Minter because that's the name she used when she married. When son Ernest Edward was baptised his parents were noted 'of Ashmanhaugh'. 1901 census: in Walsham Road, Hemblington All Saints, Walter (43, groom), Caroline (48), Arthur W J (18, ordinary ag lab), Ernest E (16, ordinary ag lab). 1911 census: at 13 Back Greenman, Rackheath, Norfolk (5 rooms), Walter (head, 53, married, horseman on farm, worker, born Rackheath, Norfolk), Caroline (wife, 61, married 31 years, 3 children all living, born Ketteringham, Norfolk), Walter* (grandson, 8, born Wood Bastwick, Norfolk) and a boarder, Edward REEVE (22, single, horseman on farm, born Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk). Form signed Walter Minter. 1921 census: at Crostwick, Norwich, Norfolk (all MINTER), Walter (head, 62, married, born Rackheath, Norfolk, agricultural labourer with Mr R Somerville, farmer of Crostwick), Caroline Mary (wife, 71y 10m, married, born Fletterham, Ketteringham, Norfolk, home duties) and Walter* (grandson, 19, single, born Woodbastwick, Norfolk, agricultural labourer with Mr R Somerville, farmer of Crostwick). * The identity of Walter Minter hasn't been firmly established (no record of his birth has been found). He was probably the illegitimate son of Rebekah THROWER, who the illegitinmate daughter of Caroline Mary THROWER, who married Walter Minter (senior) in 1881 and was effectively adopted and became Rebecca Elizabeth M Minter. It seems likely that Walter was he who married in 1926, giving his age as 23 (which would tie up with his being 3 in 1911), and his father's name as 'Minter (deceased)'. For the time being it is being assumed that Walter was Rebecca (Rebekah)'s son. 1939 Register: at 145 Angel Road, Norwich C.B., Norfolk Minter, Walter born 18 Jul 1875 (sic), married, general labourer Minter, Louisa born 20 Apr 1888, married, unpaid domestic
