Can't find a Henry, did check a few variations of Westall. If he was James and Mary's first child, he might have been born before they moved to Wallingford, or in the home town / village of Mary's family. Have you found a marriage?

Thank you so much Lizzie you are wonderful.
Do you know what church christenings took place?
On the 1851 census James says he is born abt 1783 in Wallingford.
I have been unable to find a Marriage for James WESTALL that fits.
Poss John and James brothers??
Would be thankfully if you could look for a marriage for either John or James.

The birth transcriptions are on FindMyPast, I think mostly at St Leonard where church is mentioned

A likely John and James baptised in Wallingford, both sons of John and Elizabeth, also a sister Jane in 1795, but Jane buried 1798 - St Leonards

There are some marriages transcribed on FindMyPast for both St Marys and St Leonards but I don't know how comprehensive they are.
