Susan, I know you may not think it relevant but who were the parents of James Wallis on his marriage?

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 3 Apr 2010 01:46

They didn't marry in 1910, they married in Australia in 1928, so she was 32 on marriage and he was 43.

Catherine Howe's father was John, her mother Ellen McKennelly.

Off to look in UK.

Hope this is right, still new to all of this. This could be her. My only information comes from her Marriage certificate. Am trying to trace her family & find out where she came from etc. Catherine married James Wallis Feb 1928 Sydney he was a Widower aged 42. Is this how you do things in this site.

As far as I know she came to Australia before marrying my grandfather . Was Told her middle name was Hilda this is true on Certificate

Hi I am trying to find information about my grandparents. James (John) Wallis, 9/5/1885 in Warwickshire England.

Catherine Howe, 3.6.1896 from South Shield.

This all the information I have on them except a copy of the marriage certificate. Think they may have come to Australa about 1910
