Would somebody be kind enough to look at 1851 census for Henry Waller b.1815 Rudgewick Sussex. Wife Rebecca, daughters Matilda, Ellen and Emily. It is the son that I am trying to work out. Census has the name as Beard Waller but I cannot imagine anyone calling their son Beard. Cannot find him on 1861. Any suggestions please

Thanks for the look up Polly, I already have the census details. It is the name of 'Beard' Waller that I dont think is right on the census.

Dear Julie,

Hi i have had a look around and also cannot find a BEARD waller at all.

Have a look at this though, if you type in Henry and Rebecca Waller Horsham Sussex,there is quite a lot of info about the Waller family.

Instead of Beard the person has it as Meand ? but again no further information.

Best wishes...Tim

Been through all WALLERS birth reg in Horsham (as the census says)1844-46 ......

Charles James b.Horsham Mar Q 1846 Vol 7 page 411

Mary Jane Waller b.Horsham June Q 1845 Vol 7 Page 381
Sarah Waller b. Horsham June Q 1845 Vol 7 Page 374

Louisa Waller b. Horsham Mar Q 1844 Vol 7 Page 421

The only other thought I had was it could be a bad spelling of Bernard? eg Bnard?

Thanks everybody for your help. Guess I will have to put Meand/Beard ? and leave it at that.
Thanks Tim, have found the site with the Wallers on. Will sit now and compare notes
