Susan, being from Sheriff Hill, and a 'strong' member of St John's, could you send me a copy of the book you mentioned?
In 1986, my daughter, (who happened to be born in Africa), copied the births, and marriages, of the HALL's' and WALES',
Prior to 1890 the HALL's were not from Sheriff Hill (maybe Felling/Heworth), but my g.g.grandfather (Foster Wales) was the original owner, of the Three Tuns pub. And when he died, his wife Isabella ran the pub!
