On Monday, I asked if someone with access to the Gloucestershire Family History Society baptisms 1813-1837 could have a look for the baptism of John WALL, son of Robert and Emma, born. c.1835 and also for the baptisms of an older sister, Emma. I had an off-list reply, which gave the date of Emma's baptism and the place as Stroud. I asked the same question on the Gloucester List, yesterday, and have had confirmation that the baptism of Emma WALL, daughter of Robert and Emma, took place on 1st. April 1827 at St. Lawrence's Church, Stroud. Additional information given was that the abode was Union Buildings and father's occupation was wine merchant. This is the right family as Emma's father, Robert WALL, was recorded as a spirit merchant at her marriage to Martin POTTER on 8th. December 1856 at the church of St. James, Mangotsfield, GLS. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
