Just a beginner but I noticed your post about the Walls in Sedgley right away..
Like you my paternal great grandfather Wall was called Denis and his father was Daniel, and like you all my Walls seem to have been in the mining industry.
My father is Bernard Wall (b1928), son of my grandfather Arthur Wall (b1891), who was son of my great grandfather William Wall (b1854) and his wife Raynor Holmes. William’s siblings were Denis Wall (b1848), Rose Hannah (Rosanna b1839), Elizabeth, Mariann, Issac, Daniel, Sarah, John.
It would seem that your great grandfather Denis, and my great grandfather called William were brothers, with a sister Rosehannah (or Rosanna) who married the bridklayer James Hickman (b1839). They were both 22 when they had daughter Ann or Hannah (b1860). She possibly married Josiah although census shows his surname as Hickman too – was he actually a son, a son-in-law or did he have the same surname? Hannah (& possibly Josiah) had three children May, Sarah and William. Around that time James and Rosehannah lived at 41 Summit Place Sedgley and later in life they lived at 64 Tansey Green, Pensnett, Dudley.
Denis, William and Rosehannah and their siblings were children of Daniel Wall (b1812) and wife Sarah Collins. Daniel’s parents were Dennis Wall (b1791) and Sarah Hale (b1792).
About the pub and those people I have no idea as I live in Melbourne Australia, although born in Derbyshire where my roots lie.
Happy family hunting,
