Hi Thomass:

I have worked with the content of your last post but do not see a connection. Your info helps me eliminate some possible ancestors since they belong to the James Wallace/Jean Ronald line as opposed to the James Wallace/Margaret Thomson line which started out a bit earlier with Hugh (b1774). My James was a "taylor" in Jackton and was not an agricultural worker but his son Hugh grew up and married in the area to a Janet Hamilton (m1793). Whatever happened to the family after 1774 remains a mystery.

My #12, Robert Wallace was baptized 20/04/1794, son to James Wallace (Lairhills). This is in the OPR records.

Regards,
Robertosoy

Hope this little bit is of help.

Hi Thomass,

The McAuley/Wallace family you listed is the same family I am interested in. I have Jean/Jane's death cert from 1859 and the births of children Janet & John are listed on the IGI. The children Isabella & Jane are with them on the 1861 census. I would be interested in any more info you have found on them.

we seem to have 2 levels of intermarriage between two Wallace famili,es.

I have William Wallace in my line who married Mary Jackson at EK in 1829. My notes have William as the son of James born at Mains EK 1800 but he is too far a field from my paternal interests so I never went further. Wm and Mary had 4 daughters Isabella, Mary, Margaret and Agnes.

If anyone is of this line they are welcome to a photo I have of Isabella Wallace (1833-1922) a rather intimidating looking lady. Although she died in Auchtermuchty she was interred at the OPC in EK with the her husband and 4 of her children.

Hello Kevin,
                   my 4 x great grandmother was a Jean Wallace who married James Baird in East Kilbride in March 1772. I also have a Mary Wallace who married Robert Baird in East Kilbride in 1842. This Mary Wallace is named on the family headstone in EK Old Parish Churchyard.
Also a Jean Wallace from Glasford who married my 3 x great grandfather William Baird in 1801.
Hope this doesn't cloud things too much. Would be interested in exchanging notes.

Baird
My gr.gr.gr.grandparents were also Jean Wallace and William Baird...their daughter Elizabeth Baird had an illegitimate daughter Jane Baird or Lawson born 1833...John Lawson was the father...maybe a cousin.
Jane Baird/Lawson married my gr.grandfather Duncan McColl in East Kilbride.I have a photo of the family outside their cottage in Kittochside.

Are you related to Margaret Wallace, born 1804 in East Kilbride? Her parents were John Wallace and Jane Ronald.

Cheers,

I meant to add that Margaret Wallace married John Craig, landed proprietor of Birdsfield Farm, Blantyre, and they later had Udston Farm, Hamilton. Both John Craig and his wife, Margaret Wallace, died there in 1876.

I note you also have a Craig connection.

Cheers,

Rodeo

I don't think so.The only Wallace I know of at the moment is Jean Wallace who was born in Glassford 1780.

Hi Rodeo,
I am wondering if your Margaret Wallace b 1804 had a connection to Andrew Wallace bc 1800 in EK?
This is not my ancestral line, but there is something familiar.....

Andrew Wallace was married to Mary Wilson. they farmed at Farme Mansion, Rutherglen.
They had a daughter named Mary b 1836
This Mary Wallace married John Jackson in 1859, a farmer, born Cambuslang. ( The Jacksons form part of my family)
John Jackson ran his mother's farm ( Blantyre Farm) until her death in 1882, after which he and his wife Mary Wallace moved to Birdsfield Farm in Blantyre, and are living there in 1891 and 1901.

Having done some research on the Jackson line, they were fairly successful farmers, but they did not own any of the properties, but were tenants of the Duke Of Hamilton.

I would expect that Birdsfield Farm was  also owned by "His Grace, Duke Of Hamilton"
