Fred, Thank you for all of your info on the Westall family. It has been priceless! Please believe that I am not interested in being right or wrong but I just want us to have it as correct as we can. Frankly, I am not sure that you are not correct and I am off base? Hopefully we can sort it out somehow? What you show for your George and Mary Westall nee Hickerton is the exact info I have for George and Mary Westall nee Woolford. The similarities are amazing to be as we have two George Westall's born 1 year apart who married two different Mary's within a couple of months from each other in 1862. George's marriage to Mary Woolford in the Oct - Dec Qtr and of course George's marriage to Mary Hickerton in the Jul - Sep Qtr, both in 1862. No wonder it is confusing. We both have the same George as husband and two different Mary's as wife but we both have similar children? Wow! The following are the Notes I have for George and Mary. I show in the 1871 census their first born as Sarah born 1863 in Hunton St Quintins, Wiltshire, but I cannot find her in FREE BMD? There was a Sarah Ann Westall who married in the Jan - Mar 1881 Qtr Marriages Mar 1881 Westall Sarah Ann Hungerford 2c 333 Rushen William Hungerford 2c 333 The district Hungerford spans the boundaries of the counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire I don't really know if this Sarah Ann Westall is the correct one or not? One more question on the geography of Wiltshire. Trowbridge and Melksham are not far apart but where is Axford? Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, and Melksham form a triangle, is that correct? Bath is situated between Bristol and Bradford-on-Avon? The map I am looking at shows it a Bradford-on-Avon not upon. Can you tell me which way is the correct way? Swindon is northeast of Melksham? How big an area does Hungerford cover? It appears that Marlborough is almost do South of Swindon? Very close to Marlborough? Axford appears to be located on White's Hill. Go east from Axford and you come to Marlborough? Wow! There is so much I do not know it makes it harder to understand!
