Oliver, I have been nosing around Wiltshire's 1841 English Census and have not been able to get even a clue as to the parents of George, Henry, and Mariah Westall. Have you gotten any further? It leads me to possibly believe that either the parents were dead in 1841 or the last name was misspelled in the 1841 census. I have looked under Westall, Wastall, Westell, and Waistall to name a few! I have come up with nothing! I did come up with the following which is what led me to believe the parents might have died earlier? Taken from the 1851 British Census Name: Henry Westall Age: 25 Estimated birth year: abt 1826 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where born: Axford, Wiltshire, England Civil parish: Ramsbury County/Island: Wiltshire Country: England Street address: 37 Axford Condition as to marriage: Unmarried Occupation: Agricultural Laborer Source information: HO107/1686 Registration district: Hungerford Sub-registration district: Kintbury ED, institution, or vessel: 11 Folio: 432 Page: 12 Household schedule number: 37 GSU Number: 193594 Henry Westall Head..S..25..Agricul Lab..Wilts, Axford George Brother..S..27..Agricul Lab..Wilts, Axford Meriah Sister...S..19....................Wilts, Axford Do you have any thoughts that might give me some direction?
