NotesA birth registration was found for Walter Marshall Hill: Year of Registration: 1871; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: York; County: Yorkshire - East Riding, Yorkshire - North Riding, North Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding; Volume: 9d; Page: 46.

In 1881, Walter M. Hill, 9 years of age, was residing at the Beckett farm, Deighton, Yorkshire, England. Other family members included: Emily G. Hill, 13; George Hill, 1; Hannah Hill, 41; Richard T. Hill, 11; Robert Hill, 4; Thomas Hill, 54, ag lab; Walker Hill, 9 months; and William Hill, 1. (Source: 1881 Census of England; Class: RG11; Piece: 4728; Folio: 52; Page: 6; GSU roll: 1342143.)

In 1888, Walter M. Hill, 16, arrived in Quebec, Canada, with a group of 38 youths and children en route to Toronto, Canada.

In 1893, Phillip Hill, not related, was sentenced to death for the murder of his employer. The local papers stated that "Hill" had been a Barnardo boy. Mr. Alfred B Owen, the Canadian Agent of the Manitoba Barnardo Home on Farley Avenue, was "much puzzled on seeing this, as the only Barnardo boy of that name in Manitoba is Walter Marshall Hill, who is working at Plum Creek, Souris District, with a Mr. Brown. This lad, moreover, has a peculiarly favorable record and reputation. Mr. Owen accordingly send a telegram to the Sheriff of the county asking if it was true that the boy convicted was from one of Dr. Barnardo's Homes. Last night he received the following telegram, which explains itself: - 'Phillip Hill, who was sentenced Saturday, is not from Barnardos' Home. Sheriff Clements' ... The boy Walter Marshall Hill came out in 1888 and has given particularly good satisfaction. Indeed, Police Magistrate D.W. Dumble of Peterboro, who has a farm in the Souris district, adjoining that of young Hill's employer, wrote last year to the Toronto Home asking for a good boy, such a boy as Mr. Brown had got in the person of the lad Hill. It is rather hard to connect him with his criminally disposed namesake" (The Globe and Mail, page 3 Tuesday, November 21, 1893)

On November 4, 1901, at Essex, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered for Walter M. Hill, 29, porter, son of Thomas Hill and Hannah Labers, and Edna Ellsworth, 18, daughter of Cortland Ellsworth and Martha Briggs.
