Just replied could well be a variation on the name, there is quite a bit of info about the Wallwork family on the internet and Nathan Walworke seems to be one of the earliest recorded "Wallwork" family members and had something to do with building a church at Ringley - I haven't looked into all that yet as I can't seem to get back to the 1700's yet lol, let alone the 1500's but it's a fascinating line, and rather challenging to piece together!

Same year-----name changed slightly. To be honest......i think, in those days, people couldn't spell their own names.....so it was written as it sounded.

Some kind soul has given me a list of Wallwork names transcribed from the headstones before the churchyard was covered over, now I need to see if I can make any connections My Prudence is not on the list so either she didn't have a headstone, it was unreadable or she was in a plot with other family members but her name not put on the stone (this last option has occured in my searches before but luckily I was able to find else who was in the same plot..indeed there were 6 people in one plot and only one name on the headstone)
