Exclamation Supporting wall or not ?

can anyone let me know how to deduce if a wall(s) is or are supporting walls.

The house was built in late 1800's and are of very thick stone, the walls concerned look as if they are just built up from floor and are in the middle of the house, kitchen area. Everything is of the old type black morter, lathe and plaster. I want to make our kitchen bigger and want to take down two small dividing walls. If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me and i'll do my best to draw a plan of the house to help along any advice.

many thanks

david
