    1. [ENG-SOM] WALLs of Heath House
    2. Milly & Adrian Rowe
    3. Dear list members I am researching my wife's family, the WALLs, who hailed from Heath House/Wedmore area. Their descendants emigrated to South Africa in 1902. A few years ago I was assisted by list members with information relating to John WALL who was born in 1834 and baptized on 28 Jan 1836 in St Mary's Church, Wedmore. I am hoping that some kind person can assist me with John's father, Joseph WALL, who according to the 1851 & 1861 Censuses (Censii) was born in Wedmore. The mother of his children was Susanna(h) but I have been unable to find a record of the marriage. They had about 8 children all of whom were baptzed in St Mary's Church, Wedmore and were living at Heath House/Wedmore. I have also been unable to find Joseph's baptism record in the Wedmore parish records and wonder if he was either not baptized or if it occured in another parish. I would appreciate any help which can be offered. Does anyone know if any work has been done on recording the memorials on the tombstones in the Wedmore Church cemeteries? Susannah WALL died and was buried on 19 May 1841 in Wedmore and if a tombstone exists and is legible, it may yield some clues (the Death Certificate has not). My wife and I are visiting the area in September and I would be very pleased if I could progress past the 1800 barrier. regards Adrian Rowe Durban, South Africa
