Mary's maiden name was possibly Stevenson married 1844. although this was after Charles was born so not sure.
You have more children too.
I descend from James Robert, he was my 2x great grandfather (if all this is correct) he moved and married in Liverpool.
The name Charles continued through the Walsham family.
no. 277 St. Peter's Church, Liverpool (parish church, Church St)
20th Aug 1866
James Robert Walsham, full, batchelor, musician, Taylor Street, Charles Walsham, builder
Sarah Ann Leeke, full, spinster, Taylor St, Samuel Leeke, machinist?
after Banns , both signed, witnesses Charles Bufley/Buxley? Leeke, Annie Dodd
and there endeth any further references to Ely.
There was a Charles chr. 1812 to a Charles and Susan in Downham.
Also to a charles & Susan was Jabez 1824, Mary wilson Walsham 1821 and a robert W. Walsham 1814.
So connecting the periods 1813 - 1824...
so to be honest I am none the wiser...
is there any link between St. Mary the Less and ely Holy Trinity?
James was a music teacher and apparently played in Ely Cathedral...are there any musicians in your branches?
There wasn't a particular link between the two occupations of shoemakers and wheelwrights as far as I know either.
