Hello, I am looking for more information about Charles Hubert/Herbert Wallis, born around 1803 and died 1869.
He married Louisa Ward in 1855 in Lancashire and his father's name was given as Edward Wallis. He was a widower, I think his first wife's name was Jane, with whom he had a son in 1829 named Charles.
I believe this Wallis family ties into my own Wallace family sometime in the mid-late 1700s in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

According to the 1861 census Charles was age 59 and born in Suffolk. The marriage gives his father Edwards occupation as 'Under Rider' ??? I wonder if this should be Underwriter ...
What makes you think he is linked to your family in Scotland/Ireland :-\

Thanks for your responses! Yes I've seen these census entries so far but that's about it.
I think that this family relates to mine because of a nicely triangulated matching DNA segment. In my own Wallace tree I am stuck at a James born around 1800 in Scotland or Northern Ireland. I was able to confirm a 35 cM match with someone who comes from James' sister. Both this person and my own kit match another person at the same exact segment, and this Charles Wallis is in their tree. Since I know that this segment points at a Wallace family, I figure it's a good bet that our relation is through Charles (probably before the spelling was standardized).
