   NoteThis seems to be the right record even though the name is given as Beales instead of Beall and the child is down as Mary instead of Mabel, but it is the nearest listed for the correct date. (See attached birth Certificate) Walsoken was transferred from the Wisbeach Registration District to the Kings Lynn District in 1939 which may account for that discrepancy.
