A. Thomas Wall (b. abt 1791 Fermanagh) married Mary Sheppard (b. Ireland)
Their family were all born in Ireland:
William Wall 1807–1851
Henry Wall 1813–1885
Ellen Wall 1819–1873
Ann Wall 1821–1879
Thomas Wall 1823–1899
Henry Wall 1826–
Mary Wall
Jane Wall
They are in Southwestern Ontario, Canada by the 1851 as their son William dies there.
Hoping to figure out where in Fermanagh this family is from as we are planning a trip to Ireland in May 2018.

Wall is not a common Fermanagh name. I checked Griffiths Valuation (1848-1864) and also the 1901 census for the county and there wasn’t a single person of that name in the county. I also searched for Wills made by people named Walls in Fermanagh on the PRONI wills site but didn’t find any.
You can search the Fermanagh Gold site, but I am not sure I can see any link to your family:

Without some further information on their denomination and parish of origin, you may struggle to locate them. Possibly DNA testing might link you to descendants alive today who know more of the family’s origins.
