In the account of Walter Thomas Prideaux Wolston [1840-1917] in "Chief Men among the Brethren" (see https://www.brethrenarchive.org/people/walter-tp-wolston/) we are told that he came from Brixham, but nothing about his family. On the other hand Tom has published several letters relating to Brethren matters from Richard Walter Wolston of Brixham who is described in the 1851 census as 'Attorney & Notary; Farmer Of 11 Acres; Proprietor Of Iron Mine & Ocher Works.' (See https://www.brethrenarchive.org/manuscripts/1847-plymouth-letters-etc/brixham-letters-folio-5/) Can anyone clarify the likely relationship between Richard Walter W and Walter Thomas Prideaux W? Could the younger Wolston have had a mother or grandmother who was from the Quaker family of Prideaux? Timothy Stunt

Minutes later! Sorry Tom, my chemotherapeutically addled memory had quite forgotten that we discussed the Wolston/ Prideaux/Murley family connection just two years ago! Timothy Stunt

Though I'm not sure we have yet finalised the link between the Wolstons and the Prideauxs we know!
