Janet, Thanks so much. You answered my question. Tewkesbury was a small tight knit community. This tells me that it is quite probable that all of the Wall family there were somehow related. Now, I have to find them and sort them out. I was also wondering if non conformist could have been catholic? My Wall family has always been Primitive Methodist (here in the USA) and considered English but I have heard that Wall is frequently an Irish name (southern Ireland) and I was wondering if perhaps, the family had immigrated from Ireland years before in the 1600 or early 1700's. I suppose that I should bend one of my brother's arm's and have him take a DNA test. Again, thanks for this important piece of information.
