Daniel Orme must be a brother of Sophia Orme.

Thanks for the above, yes, seems to be my link. How do I remove 'marked as answered' ? First time I've tried it.

Gheather - if you want further help could you remove the "marked as answered" tick as it indicates the thread is finished on the main page.

You mentioned possible parents of Henry and Hannah, found this:

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: Daniel Orme
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 27 May 1821
Father's Name: Henry Orme - labourer
Mother's Name: Hannah Orme
Parish or Poor Law Union: Hackney St John
Borough: Hackney
Register Type: Parish Registers

The address is Wick Hy, same as the baptism above.

But, what is odd that this baptism is 1821 and the other 2 were 1823 baptisms of babies reportedly born 1820. Why would you have one baptised that was born in the interim and not the other 2? (Unless this one wasn't expected to survive).

Also, there are 2 different mother's names - did Henry remarry?

Or is it all just coincidence with the names?

So, Samuel Wall father was also called Samuel Wall, who did he marry ?

I'm not too sure about this baptism, but am posting if just for elimination:

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: Sophia Ann Orne [Sophia Ann Orme]
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 29 Jun 1823
Father's Name: Henry Orne - Dyer
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Orne
Parish or Poor Law Union: Hackney St John
Borough: Hackney
Register Type: Parish Registers

Address: Wick Hy

Baptised same day was a sibling Henry Philip.

There's a note in the margin that says "reported born 1 October 1820" - it looks like this refers to both siblings.

What I'm not sure about is the father's occupation.

You say marriage "about 1839" - have you checked on FreeBMD?

Think it must be this one anyhow:

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: Sophia Orme - a minor
Spouse Name: Samuel Wall - full age. An iron dealer
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 21 Jul 1839
Parish: Spitalfields Christ Church with St Mary and St Stephen
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Father Name: Henry Orme - bedstead maker
Spouse Father Name: Samuel Wall - iron dealer
Register Type: Parish Register

Neither married before, both give address as Montague Street.

Witnesses Henry Orme and Martha Wall.

Everyone signed "x"

I have a Sophia Orme in my family tree, she married Samuel Wall. I think she was born abt 1821, in the London area, they got married about 1839 in Whitechapel, I think. her parents were: Henry Orme, and perhaps Hannah ? Need someone to confirm this and perhaps go back a bit further from Henry and Hannah... Who were Samuel Wall parents ? He was born abt 1819 in Shoreditch or nearby area. (Henry Orme was born abt 1801.)
