Hi and welcome to rootschat,

Wassail Square still exsists.  The area is now known as The Quadrant. Post code for the area is SA1 3Q_.   If you Google that you should come up with a map of the area.

Hi Gina, and a Warm Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

I guess Fisherman's reply helped already! 

Now you have the post code maybe you can Google Earth to get a better look.

Back to the matter at hand, what else do you know about William & Alice?

Are you in the UK or abroad?

Gina,
I've checked Cambrian On Line.  A few newspaper articles on incidents in Wassail Square.  One marriage report but sadly not William & Alice.
