trying to find out any further information re the Wallace / Wallis / Wales Family of Massachusetts
John;s place of Birth may be Virginia so are there any free online places to search for VA brths

John Wallace / Wallis / Wales
Born 1750  Place: ?? May be Virginia as per one daughters death cert.
Died 1835  Place: Mattapoisett, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA

There were claims he was a Captain in the US Revolutionary War, however there appears to be several John Wallace's  and I believe that most of the Revolutionary war records were destroyed in fires in 1800's.

Eunice (aboves Wife most likely a Clark or Clarke)
Born 1755

Their Children, no have only been able to find baptism date all the same of 1795 and birth has to be after 1781 the believed marriage year of John and Eunice

Hello All

I was wondering if someone could look up the following person.

Name: John W Blossom
Year of Birth:about 1821
Place of Birth:Fairhaven, Massachusetts

I know he made a declaration sometime in the late 1850s on the U.S. East Coast and he was listed as a mariner in the 1850 US Census as a Mariner.

I would like to know if it has any other information listed aside from Name/Date and Place of Birth on
Affidavit.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Greg

Hello All

I was wondering if there was someone that could assist with

1)
What data is recorded on "US Atlantic Ports Seaman Protection Certificate"

2)
Is there any free online search facility to search the above records. Aside from the site that starts with the letter A

3)
I sort of gather they were used from late 1700's till 1870 or there about, is that correct.

Thanks in advance

Hello All,

I have hit a brick wall with following person

Frederick Henry Willis
born Jun 1861 Lambrook, Somerset, England, United Kingdom

I can locate him on the following UK Census Records 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 after this he migrated to Australia in 1912, maybe there is some one else doing research on same family (yes I know, long-shot)

I am unable to locate him in the 1871 Census, His mother was Elizabeth and believe his father was John as listed on his NSW (Australia) Death Certificate however 1881 UK Census shows no Husband perhaps died prior to or never existed ? just Elizabeth as Head of family

From the 1881 Census it lists only Elizabeth Willis and sister Susan E Willis see below extract from Census © Crown copyright Government Records Office of the United Kingdom

Event Place:    Bridgwater, Somersetshire, England
Record Type:    Household
Affiliate Publication Number:    RG11
Piece/Folio:    2376 / 12
Page Number:    20
Household    Role    Gender    Age    Birthplace
Elizabeth Willis    Head    F    55    Kingw, Dorset, England
Fred Willis    Son    M    20    Lambrook, Somerset, England
Susan E Willis    Daughter    F    15    Bridgwater, Somerset, England

a) Is there anyone that might be able to assist or advise on the best way to find any information further back, ie mother's maiden name or marriage of a John Willis to Elizabeth ??

b) is there anyway to confirm that Susan E Willis marriage to Edwin Walker is right, Do UK Certs list Parents of Parties in Marriage ? I have seen a few family trees on other sites but they are questionable without checking
