If it was him,then in 1910 he wasn't with his wife.
She was with her mum Mary Small and siblings along with her son Robert k Hitchin 1903-1978.

There is info on Ancestry about Robert and where he is buried.
it also shows photos of him in later years.

If you google Robert k Hitchin from USA
Scroll down 1st page to My Family My People it takes you to www.findagrave.com.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for that info, maybe that's why we cannot find any more info on him in England.
Not sure how we can verify if this is him but it does seem to fit as he was baptised in February 1859.

W D Hitchin sailed on ship Aurania to Chicago arrived 23/7/1888
married Sarah Small 24/9/1896 in Chicago.

1900 census Manhatton New York
Walter D Hitchin born England Jan 1859 so that fits. He was a Map Mounter.
Sarah Hitchin

Maybe this is your Walter ?
