You have been busy Sandra  :) like you not seeing a marriage for Alexander and Margaret
On the 1901 census gives a date of birth for Margaret Wallace as 17/10/1827 Scotland don't know how accurate that would be ?
1891 Census Oxford North Blandford  Ontario transcribed as Waller
Alexander 58, Margaret 60 ..
1881 transcribed as Wallis in Brant South Burford Ontario
Alexander 48, Margaret 50 ...
Sandra has posted details of the 1871 census
There are a few possibles on the 1861 census as a single man ?

Still no sign of the marriage - have asked a friend - Runkitty in Canada if she might be able to find any obituary for Alexander or Margaret Wallace - might help us confirm if she is Margaret Robb,
There were possibilities for that name in Falkirk -

Hi,

This looks like Alexander Wallace's obituary.  I think you will have to contact the Oxford County Genealogical Society for a look up.

Using the 1903 death year found by Sandra.... looks like Margaret was Margaret Robb.  You could order her obit ... here are the details.

Dear Run Kitty,
                       Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this information you have found for me on my ancestor Alexander Wallace.

I have just sent emails asking for their help in accessing the obituaries.

I shall post on here as soon as I have news.

Again many thanks.
