Name Walter Albert John HENNINGS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Sep Q 1914 Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England 
- GRO ref: Hennings, Walter A J q3 1914 mother's maiden name: Reed, Plymouth RD 5b 419; GRO online index shows full Christian names as Walter Albert John
Gender Male Also known as Walter Gotham HENNINGS Died Mar Q 1915 Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England - GRO ref: Hennings, Walter G q1 1915 aged 0 Newton A. RD 5b 259; GRO online index shows middle name as Gotham
Buried 10 Feb 1915 The Church, St. Marychurch, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 19 Nov 2019)
"Walter Gotham [sic] Hennings, abode: 17 Warbro Rd Babbacombe, buried Feb 10th 1915, aged 5 months"
Despite the wrong middle name, the first and surnames along with the age, and no further evidence of this Walter alive, strongly points to it being his burial. (And there is no birth registration of a Walter G Hennings to fit this death and burial) Finally, Walter was not with his parents and surviving siblings when the family emigrated in 1924.

Despite wrong middle initial I believe this is the entry for this Frederick, as the wife and children (with mother's maiden name Reed) match those emigrating with Fred T in 1924
Five Hennings children found with mother's maiden name of Reed. There was also a marriage in Greenwich of a male Hennings to a female Reed in 1910, but as all the births were in Plymouth and with over a year between each probably all the children of this couple.
Three emigrated with them, two had died in infancy.
The Western Australian birth index shows another son born in Australia; the index when last checked (2021) goes only to 1932, when Mary would have been aged 38, so it is possible there were other children born after this.
