Hello cp,

The marriage has Ann not Agnes CROZIER and no births with mother as Agnes:

Births
V18422438 162B/1842 CARROLL MARY J WILLIAM ANN
V18441139 62/1844 CARROLL JOHN WILLIAM ANN
V18472381 65/1847 CARROLL CATHERINE WILLIAM ANN

The marriage says Jane is the only daughter of William CARROLL yet I can't find a birth reg for Jane. And I can't see deaths for Mary and Catherine before 1860 to make Jane the only daughter. ??? Do we have 2x William CARROLL ?

Is Agnes CARROLL actually Ann or someone else? Where is the death of Ann spouse of William CARROLL? It might be this one given the age of William:

1519/1867 CARROLL ANN AGE 68 YEARS DIED SYDNEY SYDNEY

I've searched Trove and found nothing to help with the death in Springwood or the 1907 death in Wellington. If the death of Jane in Wellington is that of the spouse of John then are we looking for another William CARROLL with spouse Agnes given there is a death for an Agnes CARROLL? Or do we have an error in two death reg with Agnes instead of Ann?

I notice the CARROLL marriage is RC and the 1856 CofE and the 1860 Presbyterian. :D

I also wonder if the Ann WALLIS who arrived in 1850 if that is an error with the age and spouse not daughter?? :rolleyes:

Regards,

Dave

Looks as though the 1850 shipping record is correct. I have a possible marriage for Ann. The marriage record says Hannah is the youngest daughter. It also seems Joseph's spouse is Ann.

I can't see the 'Anglia' on the list of Bounty ships so I can't check for place of origin for Joseph and daughters Ann and Hannah.

I have also found a marriage for a Mary WALLIS but I don't know yet how she fits in. :rolleyes:

Hello cp,

Thank you very much.

Wexford fits and spouse Ann fits so that's progress. ;)

I'll start looking for Robert and William now. I wonder how Joseph & Ann and family are connected to John and Bessie WALLIS (parents John & Anne)?

This must be the death of Robert but I can'I find an obvious death reg for William.

7351/1867 WALLACE ROBERT JOSEPH ANN PENRITH

Looks as though we have a middle initial and name of spouse for William:

Birth #13432/1866 WALLIS MARY WILLIAM J JANE PENRITH

Marriage #2718/1863 WALLIS WILLIAM - ANDERSON JANE PENRITH


Mary WALLIS is a bit of a puzzle. Lots of them in NSW.

Marriage #3875/1884 BOYLE JAMES - WALLIS MARY BATHURST

Lots of Mary BOYLEs too but this is a possible death:

8543/1901 BOYLE MARY A THOMAS - BATHURST

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

From some of the registrations and newspaper notices it's clear I can't stick to the WALLIS spelling. Pity because there are about 10x as many WALLACE in NSW. I never realised the name was that common. :rolleyes: I'm making no progress.

I have found a RUNCIMAN tree that has Elizabeth WALLIS in it but not her parents or siblings. I can't find a WALLIS tree. Could you check please because that might be the only way of solving this.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Re: Mary Wallis (born 1866), there is a Bunting Family Tree on A*, owned by juleannegray.

Her birth was 2 Dec 1866 to parents William James Wallace 1838-1872, Jane Anderson 1842-1933.

Mary's spouse is Thomas W Sands, born 1867.

There is no mention of any children, but her siblings are given as Jessie (1863-1952) , Anne (1868-1885), John (1871-1894) and William Duncan Wallis (1872-1947).

Hope this helps!

:) Josie

Additionally, Jessie Wallis married William Nagle (1861-1922). Their daughter was Dorothy 1893-1958.

William Duncan Wallis married Edith Maud M Dowling (1875-1951).

Hello Josie,

Thank you very much. That helps.

The middle initial J = James and 1872 for William's death. I could not find his death but now I should be able to.

Death #6200/1872 WALLIS WILLIAM J - JOHN MARY PENRITH

Something does not add up. :D

WALLIS Joseph 63 Farm Labourer, Waterford, (parents John & Hannah) both dead, C of E.
Relations in Colony: Sons Robert & William living near Penrith.
Parents of Robert are Joseph and Ann (both correct):

Death #7351/1867 WALLACE ROBERT - JOSEPH ANN PENRITH

but parents of William (in Penrith) are John & Mary. ??? So, did the maker of the tree choose the death in Penrith because it was William J and the informant made an error with John & Mary or do we have two William Js in Penrith? I noticed William Duncan was born in 1872.


2x Mary WALLIS so the one I was chasing didn't marry James BOYLE but married Thomas W SANDS.

Regards,

Dave

Hello Josie,

Re William James WALLIS does the tree mention his parents or siblings? Thanks.

I can't see a 2nd one in Penrith so I'm puzzled by the John & Mary.

Dave

Hi Dave,

His parents were...
John Wallis, born Rutland, England 1808-5 Nov 1896, in Cranbrook NSW,

and Mary Farmer nee Hoy 1801-1880. (Emma's first husband was Felix Farmer, born 1801.)

Just emboldened Farmer, because you have Farmers in your tree! :biggrin:

No siblings are given for John Wallis, or for William James Wallis.

I just had a look on FS. There are several JWs born in England in 1808, but none in Rutland, so the info may have been gleaned from a newspaper report, or from the marriage certificate.

Hello Josie,

Thanks. I also have two different SANDS families in my tree, one from Fife and one from Wales.

So, assuming those details are correct then there is another William WALLIS who was living "living near Penrith" and whose parents are parents Joseph & Ann.

Regards,

Dave

In post #2 I noted:

There is another John WALLIS born in England in Redfern.
so I wonder if he is the father of William James. I'm getting no help from TROVE. I can't find the death of William or Agnes CARROLL or the death of John WALLIS in Springwood or the death of Jane WALLIS in Wellington. I've given up trying to find the other William WALLIS living near Penrith. No sign of a William WALLIS/WALLACE death with parents Joseph and Ann. It's not William Benjamin in Redfern in 1951.

Hello cp,

I started with Elizabeth WALLIS b. abt 1835 Arthurstown, Co Wexford. Bessie married John RNUCIMAN and she arrived with several children. A brother, John was already here:

John WALLIS b. abt 1825 Arthurstown, Co Wexford - parents John & Anne.

I can't find reference to births/baptisms of Elizabeth & John or any siblings (10 year gap) or to the marriage. Just like so many of the Irish branches of my tree. I'm stuck. :rolleyes:

Yes, I have Googled John Wallis and Wexford. There is one from Cork who has connections to nobility and the army. I'd say not my John senior.

Regards,

Dave
