Following Alice’s death, Daniel Tull married Clara Palmer. When Daniel died just 14 months later, in December 1897, she found that she could not cope with all the children and made the difficult decision to split the family up. Walter and his older brother Edward were placed in the care of the Bonner Road Children's Home and Orphanage in Bethnal Green, East London. Walter’s two sisters, Cecilia and Elsie, and his half-sister, Miriam, stayed with Clara. Cecilia went into service.
...
The 1901 Census records show Walter’s sister, Cecilia (always known as ‘Cissie’) living at 6 Cambridge Gardens, in employment as a domestic servant for Mary David, a retired lodging house keeper.
Cissie ended her days living with sister Elsie in Rochester, where they ran the tea bar at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. On 7 November 1977, Elsie received an MBE for her work at the hospital.
