Tim, It is great to see you are still involved in this crazy pursuit. :-) In looking over my data base I see that in the 1841 English Census Josiah was 6 mos. Old and he was born in Bath, Somerset,(Births Jun 1841, Westall Josiah, Bath Vol. 11, Page 35). Minoah was born in ca. 1939 but not in Bath, Somerset and it shows he died Jul-Sep 1841 in Bath. Up to the and including the 1851 English Census they were shown as Westall and in www.rootsweb.com Free BMD in the 1840's the children were under both Westall and Westhall. Frankly, I think that is why we/I have pulled all of our/my hair out as to the lack of uniformity! :-) Oh well, maybe that is what keeps us all coming back. The following are the notes I have on Charles Westhall in my data base. I hope they are of some use.
