I'm still trying to discover the parents of Walter Samuel Beeton. A WSB was born in 1860 in Ipswich to unmarried Laura Beeton, who was originally from Bawdsey, and she is the most likely candidate for Walter's mother. The father's name given on Walter's marriage certificate may be fictitious or may be the name of his otherwise unknown father. Laura appears to have married in 1872, but her husband's name was not Frederick.
