Fred, For just under 10 Sterling I got the "East Ilsley in the 1830's (an interactive map and terrier listing)" today in the mail from Sigma Books of England. It has the following: Thomas Westall lived on plot 126 which was on High Street Norh. It was a Cottage and Garden owned by Miss Frogley. John Westall lived on plot 37 which was on Cow Lane Norh. It was a Cottage and Garden owned by Widow Butler. Interestingly Thomas shows as living on Cow Lane in the 1841 English Census not John? Fred there is a John Westall living in Ashbury, Shrivenham, Berkshire with the following household. Could that be our John Westall? John Westall 40 Sarah 40 Thomas 12 Ann 9 John 6 Maria 4 George 1 The following is what I have for Thomas in my Notes section: Does this make sense to you?
