Hello John,
Good to see this is still running. I posted some years ago! Your great grandmother Ethel Helen Debonaire Mary (Mollie]) Wallace was my wife's great aunt. As you know she was the sister of Alexander Ross Wallace - he was my wife's grandfather. He was variously in the Indian Civil Service, Headmaster of Sherborne School and Dean of Exeter Cathedral. Her father was Ian Alexander Wallace - one time Headmaster of Canford School.
The family originated in Aberdeenshire. One Alexander Wallace moved to Calcutta in early 1840s and married Helen Davidson Paton. His father was Fraser Wallace and his father in turn was another Alexander Wallace. That's as far as one can go because the parish records give out!
Thanks for posting such great photos. I've put them on the family tree!
