Hi Barbara,
Walter Walpole lived at Poplar House, Beyton, Suffolk, where he farmed 200 acres and employed 7 men and 4 boys. His Brother William Sturman Walpole who died in 1883 was a solicitor and left overĀ£4000 in his will.
I have traced this branch back to William Walpole of Winfarthing born 1609 and it by-passes Sir Robert Walpoles family tree.
The names you mention are Walpole family names and it may have been an attempt to creat a link to the better known family.
