  Father	Thomas WALL,   b. Abt 1870, Tunstall, Staffordshire, England ,   d. Dec Q 1926, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age ~ 56 years)
  Mother	Hannah LEWIS,   b. Sep Q 1869, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England ,   d. Jun Q 1959, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age ~ 90 years)
  Married	Jun Q 1891	Civil Marriage, Wolstanton, Staffordshire, England
  	GRO ref: Wall, Thomas to Lewis, Hannah q2 1891 Wolstanton RD 6b 222 Staffs BMD shows that this was a Civil Marriage Children: According to the 1911 census Thomas and Hannah had had 7 children, 2 of whom had died. (The other 5 were all with them at the time of that census). However, looking for Walls with a mother's maiden name of Lewis it looks like 3 children had died in infancy. All 3 were born in Wolstanton RD, and there were no other births to Wall=Lewiss anywhere near Stoke, so unless there was a couple who had just one child who died in infancy they seem to be the children of Thomas and Hannah. In addition, all 3 neatly fill gaps before and between the children of what was clearly a fertile couple. Of the three 2 lived for some months, but Thomas died the quarter he was born; perhaps his life was so brief - maybe just a few breaths - that there had not been a chance to bond, and he was not counted.
