Mountstephen/Walls
Hi Listers,
Just think while most you are all asleep, I'm hard at work.
Those of you that have helped me in the past would know that I have an interest in a Mark Tattersall b1807 Goldshaw Booth Lancashire.
He married Mary Riley who passed away here in Australia. Mark then married a Cornish lass.
Her name was Lavinia Mountstephen born circa 1830 [nee WALLS] She to was entering a second marriage
This is what I think may be a sketch of the woman of interest, first husband and family. Along with what we believe could be her mother and siblings.
I would like you to run your expert eye over this info and give your suggestions.

Of course I'm hoping you can help with the UK end and not so much the Australian.
