Their son Edward Thomas Wallis married Mavis Jean Doyle in 1939 in Australia. I cant find his parents in Australian records, so am looking at English records to see if anything show up.
thanks Karen

You must have some idea of time-scale

How old was the son when he married?

Where was the son born?

You say that this couple married.....perhaps they didn't. Names on someone else's cert are no proof

As the son married in 1939 - assuming an age of 21 - his parents must have been born at least ten years earlier than the dates being suggested

If their son Edward married in 1939 in Australia i am guessing the son would have been born about 1915 c so his parents marriage would have been around this time, if nothing is showing up in England then i guess it could be anywhere- i couldnt find anything in Australia
thanks for your help Karen

Why guess about his birth year? His age will be on the cert

Where did you find the 'info' about his parents?

Wallis could most likely be Scotish.

Edward Joseph Patrick Wallis married Hy (assume that is Lily) Sparks 1912 in Victoria Australia. They are on the Australian electoral rolls and so is Edward Thomas. Edward T's death gives 1914 as his birth year.

Henry Richmond Sparks married Rosetta Faulkner on 30th August 1885 in Adelaide. Rosetta's father was William Faulkner and Henry's father was Henry Thomas Sparks.

Henry Thomas Sparks married Margaret Nancy Wight 9th March 1852, Adelaide.

If you 'search trees' on here for Rosetta Faulkner born 1862 Droitwich, you will find people with her family in their trees
