Find Ancestors

Hi Austin,

I've done my own line of Wallis's so I'm now doing the side branches and twigs.

Yes the 1871 census is the right family. So looks like the one in Beeston is not the same Emma.

Wendy

Hi again,

Re 1881 census Emma Wallis Walker st yes that could be her. Thank you.

Wendy

I have to go out now- I'll try and look into this more tomorrow

hi austin,

Thank you for all your help.

Wendy

Hello Wendy- I've had another look at this today and am no further forward. I think it's likely that the 1881 Emma in Walker Street is the correct one, but I don't see what happened to her parents or brother, Alfred.

Perhaps someone else can find them- it is quite annoying!. Do you know if Emma's father was listed as deceased on her marriage in 1884?

Hi Austin,

Thank you for looking. None of the James children's marriages has James as deceased. I also like you cannot find anything on James Elizabeth and Alfred after 1881 the only one I have been able to follow though is John James son of James to the 1911 census and have found the burial for his wife Catherine (Kate) in 1911 and she is the only one in her grave.

Well Thank you again for your help at least I know what happened to Emma :-D

Wendy

You may have this- but it puts Emma's father in Rutland Street at the end of 1889:

Note the spelling Wallace. John James doesn't appear to be at 2 Rutland Street in 1891. There's a Thomas & Mary Parker living there- perhaps relatives of Reuben.

Hi Austin,

Sorry had to nip out. Yes I have the 1881 census for Elizabeth and Reuben. So they both died 1889 and James (John James) was still alive then, a bit of progress. I'll look for their burial records when I'm in the archives and will check the marriage of Hannah Burrell.

Yes I've been looking under the spelling of Wallis, Wallace and Wallice can can still not find him.

Thank you so much :-D :-D
