Sorry Flick, didn't mean to mislead you.
I had info re Thomas and his wife/children but I just can't find anything about siblings. I only had his fathers name-William but didn't know hs mothers name-until tonight.

So you actually had census info..........................!!

You were asked whether you had - and didn't respond.

Hence my taking the time to find and post 1891.and to tell you where to find 1881

1861 Census- age 18- Winchester St Thomas Barracks-Winchester,Hampshire
1881 Census- age 39-Living at 42 Smith Street, Chelsea,London
At the time of marriage to Emma Carter (30) (widow) Thomas was 31 and shown as living at
18 Christchurch Street, London SW3 4AR.
Marriage was witnessed by George North (possibly brother of Emma) & Elizabeth (Brook?)
1891 Census shows Thomas to be 49 and Living at 15 Adeney Road, Fulham,London

This is info I have re Thomas Wallace. I don't know how many siblings he had or date of marriage to Emma Carter .Does this help?

The snag is that we have no idea of when or where William was born.

His son could have been the youngest of any number.........or the eldest.

I have not, as yet, managed to find the son before 1881.

When did he marry Emma? What was his address at the time?

Well thank you all so much for your help..just makes me realise how much of a novice I am.
I would have thought there were many to sift through.
Can I ask if anyone can find any census info on William, sorry to ask but I'm not going to get any sleep tonight if I don't tie this up.

You need that birth cert to confirm the mothers maiden name

Is just "William Wallace-London" not a bit vague to search for?


Well thats all you gave us!

Ginny, how did you do that!!! Thank you so much
My Thomas William is probably this one -I had aprx 1842.
Can't believe I now know my GG grandmothers name.

Births Dec 1841 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wallace Thomas William Chelsea 3 41


MMN will be on the above cert.......which should help with tracing the marriage of the parents

Is just "William Wallace-London" not a bit vague to search for?
What I have found so far is more luck than judgement.
Is there free access to the census records?

Would this be him?

Father's name: William Wallace Occ: Servant
Mother's name: Ann Wallace
Parish or Poor Law Union: Chelsea St Luke

Have you found him on any census?

Hi everyone,

I have been doing quite well so far but have come to a standstill.
I know my great great grandfather was called William Wallace but I can't find anything else. I do know he had a son in aprx 1842 called Thomas William Wallace so I am assuming William Wallace must have been born aprx 1820? His sons (Thomas)marriage certificate shows William as being a "Coachman"
The family all appear to originate in the Chelsea/Pimlico area of London.

I would love to find details of his marriage and better still his birth so I could go back another generation. I would imagine there was also more than the one son as well but I just don't know how to find out.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Eugenie
