Foreman named "Walter" at a factory in NJ - relative?

Did you/Do you have a relative whose name was Walter who was a foreman at a factory in NJ in the 1950's?

Were you born in 1950/1951?

If so you may be the person we are searching for!

My eldest baunt told us this week that she remembers that a man came and took a baby from the household in 1951/1952. He was the foreman at the factory my baunt and bgrandmother worked at and his name was Walter.

That is all she can remember but at least we have a first name of the man who took the mysterious bsibling known as "Richard". (Who my buncle named his firstborn son after!)

Still not sure if there was an official adoption in this case or if bgrandma just gave the baby up. Also not sure if Walter was the bfather of this child or if he just "handled" the arrangements for this child.

Most probably in Hudson County. (99% sure)

B-aunt is 74 and although the trauma has made her lose most of her memory from age 12-18 or 19 she is slowly remembering little details which hopefully can change this search!

Does your aunt remember what type of factory it was?

Hate to be so cryptic, just hesitant with sensitive information. Please understand.

My grandmother worked at a few factories. Our NID stated she had worked at a slipper factory when she met her husband in 1931/32. My aunt stated they may have worked at a Christmas ball factory around the time Richard was born and taken by "Walter" in 1950/51 but not sure. Will try to get 70 year old aunt to confirm what type of factory. Maybe she can remember better.

Your 1/2 brothers and sisters are hoping I can find you soon as they are mostly in their 70's now. Where are you Richard?
