WILLIAM^ {Robert,"^ Joseph^), b. July 9. 1803, m., June 30, 1829, Jennie Angel, is a tanner in Kent (1868); one or two of his boys went to Australia.
Oct. 28, 1868, John Wallbridge lived at No. 6 Upper Surrey St., Liver- pool. He had a bro. James and a nephew John, both in Liverpool.

gaveney, Monmouthshire. His wife's headstone says, Elizabeth Wallbridge, dau. of Robert and Margaret Aimer, d. Feb. 28, 1804, aged 40. Another inscription is to the memory of Margaret Hascy Wallbridge, dau. of John and Ann Miller, who d. June 22, 1843, aged 36 years.
Frome is a large, populous market town, pleasantly situated on the N. E. slope of a hill in the forest of Ledwood, Somersetshire. The name comes from the river which flows through the lower part of the town, under a stone bridge of five arches, and has over it three other bridges within the parish, called W^allbridge. Blatohbridge. and Bradford's Bridge.
Poorstock is a parish of some 1000 souls in the diocese of Salisbury, Co. of Dorset. There were two Wallbridge brothers here, Thomas (I) and Wil- liam. Thomas d. about 1809, and was buried in Poorstock churchyard, leaving one son, Thomas (H), and four or five dau. His son, Thomas (H), had chi., (i) Edie. (2) Thomas (HI). (3) Samuel, (4) Nancy, (5) Sarah, (6) William, (7) James. Thomas (HI) was buried at Poorstock. He had Thomas (IV) of Toller Parcorum, who lives (1868) a few yards from the old Swan Inn. He says Poorstock is the home of the Dorset branch of the Wallbridge family, and that they held property under the Lord Sandwich
and the Duke of for five generations, part of which land is still held,
though most of the lives have been bought up. Some of the same family went to live at Stoke under Ham, not far from Odcombe (ask for Ham Hill).
