Kimmy-- I don't have any more ideas at the moment. Don't give up! sounds to me like Louis was disguising his background. You MIGHT want to look for a WEBB family with Elizabeth and Walter who have a missing brother named something completely different. I have a WEBB who went missing in the 1880-1900 Census vacuum, and I am pretty sure he must have changed his name. I have no idea how to even look for him!
