WHALE
Whilst looking through the 1871 census form Wyle, I came across the
following family. As we all know, there are many ways which our surname is
incorrectly spelled.
(It is still going on today - checked your mail recently?!) This version has got to be taken into consideration as you will see from the first names.
There was obviously a strong religious side to people in these parts as is shown by the
biblical names.
