Surnames: WALL
I have recently started to research my family tree. There are a lot of Walls from Conception Bay South, here is what I know so far.

Nicholas Wall(my G.G.Grandfather)was born August,1843 in Holyrood Central, according to the 1921 census.
His wife was Margaret, born September, 1848, also in Holyrood central.

Children of Nicholas and Margaret were:

Francis (Frank)Wall,(my Grandfather),born August,1882, Holyrood central. He married Cicily Murphy of Placentia(?), born June,1894.

Children of Frank and Cicily were:

Patrick Wall, born July, 1917, in Grand Falls, Nfld.
Greg Wall, born August, 1919, in Grand Falls, Nfld.
Mike Wall, born in Grand Falls, Nfld.
Theresa Wall, born in Grand Falls, Nfld.
Joe Wall,(my Father), born August, 1929, " " .
Julia Wall, born in Grand Falls, Nfld.
Nick Wall, born in Grand Falls, Nfld.

I would mostly like to know about any more children of Frank and Cicily and their decendants, Also, any information about my G.G.Grandfather, Nicholas and his wife Margaret.

Most of what I have is from census records and such, but one day I hope to compile a data base of all the Walls of Newfoundland.

Thanks. Brian Wall.

Brian,
Do you know any other children of Nicholas and Margaret? You mention your grandfather was Francis - I had an uncle named Francis who was a generation after your grandfather. My grandfather's name was Thomas (dad of Francis mentioned above) & I have been unable to find out anything regarding his siblings and was wondering if he could be a brother of your grandfather.

Hi John;
I know this is a long-shot, there are a lot of Barry families in and around Boston, but do you know who John Joseph Barry's parents were? I have a James Edward Barry and Elizabeth Walsh living in Boston when their son James Edward, Jr. was born about 1870. I'm assuming their were other children but haven't located any.

Brian,
Do you know if Nicholas Wall had any sisters? My great,great grandmother is Grace Wall. I don't know where she was born but she lived with my great,great grandfather, John Ezekiel, in the Hr. Main/Chapel's Cove area. She and John had their children at around the same time Francis was born, so I'm thinking she may be a sister to Nicholas. I know Grace's mother's name was Margaret Joy Wall. I don't know her father's name. I do know that she had several brothers.
