Wall Sutton in Norfolk

[witchetty]

Someone in my tree was said to have been born in Wallsutton in Norfolk.

I have found a few census returns for other people who also say they were born in born in Wallsutton, or “Wall Sutton”.

Is it a different spelling for Walsoken?

Thanks for any help.

Have you checked for a bapt for the person?

Was it at Walsoken?

I would think they are the same place.

The only record I have is for someone's wife. I cannot find a marriage record.

I have now found an army record (random unrelated person) who was also born in "Wall Sutton near Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire".

Considering some people in census returns said "Wallsutton" Cambridgeshire, I guess it is a local variation of how to say Walsoken.

From GenUKI page on Wisbech, Cambridgeshire:

Under the Municipal Reform Act it is divided into the north and south wards, including part of Walsoken
