Valentine Walls (Blackrod/Aspull/Wigan) where did you come from ?

[Prouty99]

Hi folks, apologies as i am a new user, but this is driving me nuts....

I have been researching the Walls family in the Blackrod/Aspull/Wigan area, and have hit a major brick wall with Valentine Whall (walls) b abt 1700, d 1774 and his brother Robert Whall (Walls) b abt 1710 d 1774.

I have traced 90% of the family from 1700 to the present day, as well as others in Australia (NSW), and Durham (UK) (so if anyone needs some assistance with their own research then i am only too glad to help.

Valentine and Robert are the earliest members found, but there the trail grows cold. I have no birth records (even though both are mentioned in the Blackrod St.Katherines register, one of the oldest registers in the region)

But no christening/baptism record for either brother....So as far as i can tell they weren't from Wigan/Aspull/Blackrod originally.

Has anyone else on roots chat been researching a Whall/Walls/Wolles/ line somewhere else in the region that may help with this, as i have spent the last 3 years just on this one question

If i have to go through DNA testing comparison to other Walls lines, then so be it

Hope someone can help, or point me in the right direction

Hi Prouty & welcome to Rootschat,

Have you come across the following website: -

There's a Valentine but born 1728 but no sign of Robert.

Best wishes
