Walter Lindfield was born about 1852 in Lower Beeding.  He was the son of Henry Lindfield (1819-?) and Mary Richardson (1820-?).  When the 1881 census was recorded he was a 28 year old widower and domestic gardener and he was living at ????

Margaret Vinall was baptised on 2 June 1851 in Lower Beeding.  She was the daughter of William Vinall (1791-1877) and Ann Woolgar (1808-1874).  At the time of her baptism her father was a bricklayer.  She died aged 29 years and was buried on 9 June 1880 in Lower Beeding.

When the 1891 census was recorded, Walter was a 39 year old agricultural labourer living in Lower Street, Pulborough, along with his 45 year old wife M. A. Lindfield and son 14 year old Harry Lindfield, who had been born in Lower Beeding.
