Looks as if Walter's brother David may have had a second wife and family. David Lyle and Robina Wilson were still together in the 1851 census, so if this is the correct David, things would have had to happen fairly quickly, as David and Jane Lyle had their first child in 1853/54. Need to do some more checking here.
