Albert Edward M Wall was born in 1883 in Devonport (Jun 1883 Stoke Damerel 5b 313) and died in Plymouth in 1963. He married a Violet Hancock in 1910.
His father was George Wall born in 1865 in Devonport who died in Plymouth in 1943 and, it is understood, married a Mary Blight Toleman (b 1863 Plymouth) in 1882 in Stoke Damerel (Jun 1882 SD 5b 657).
He can be found on the 1891 census with Mary and his sons.
However, I can't find a birth record for either George Wall or Mary Blight Toleman.
I have a feeling that George might have changed his name from Watts (with a link to Charles Watts born 1825 in Jersey) to Wall but can find nothing definitive so would appreciate any help offered with this one.
Thanks

There's a Mary B Toleman on the 1881 census - ref RG11/2291/31/1 -she listed as the daughter of Joe Nicholls and a widow but she's much older than she should be - 53.
-
Marriage on FreeBMD Sept qtr 1851 - two of the possible candidates are Mary Blight Nicholls and William Toleman - vol 9 page 41.
-
Baptism for Mary Blight Nicholls (Cornwall baptisms) daughter of Joseph & Sarah 21/12/1826 in Bodmin, Cornwall - again too old.

It's got me all confused this one - sorry :(
Do you have the marriage certificate - should give her age & father too.
-
No marriage cert yet and it's really the Wall family I'm after ... her being equally mysterious just adds the icing on the cake ....

Albert's birth certificate would confirm his parent's names?
And the marriage certificate of George and Mary would confirm HIS father's name.
