Thanks Chris,
I think you have cracked my problem, that must be the same couple, the names and birth dates are so close.
I can now carry out further checks for that address and find out if it still exists.
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Chris,
They are the same people and I assumed they were still living at the farm in 1939, but maybe they had moved elsewhere in the last few years of their lives and had been buried in the churchyard at Guarlford.
Thanks for your help.

Colonels Orchards Guarlford Road , Malvern U.D., Worcestershire, England
George C Hall 25 Jul 1875 Male Small- Holders Married 18 1
Emily C Hall 05 Jul 1859 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married

(possibly above perhaps, looks more like Wall, and Emily E)

Hi, I only have these details from census records from 1851-1911, the farm name changes and so does the village, but no road name. In 1911 census it was listed as The Whitacres, Guarlford, Malvern. It has also been listed as being in Cleveload, Guarlford, Worcs.
In 1911 it was Head George Curtis Wall, b 1876 and his wife Emily Esther Wall, b 1860.
Thanks for your interest / help

Have had a browse through the 23 pages and not seeing that address. Possible that the head of house was born after 1915 so the place name obliterated along with their details.

I'm not getting any result using permutations of Whittaker, whitacre, white acres.

Any idea what road it may have been on?

ADDED: There's 108 results for Guarlford

Could someone please check the 1939 register and find who lives at this address.
Whittakers Farm,
Guarlford,
Worcestershire.
It's also written down as The whitacres, Guarlford, Malvern on some documents.
Any help would be much appreciated.
