Hello Amanda,

There could well be a connection between the families as there is a sameness with the names.

Unfortunatley I dont know who the parents were of George Wallace but suspect that they could be WILLIAM WALLACE & ELIZABETH RITCHIE as this is the only match I can get to Georges birth 1791.

George m Agnes Thomson 2nd Jul 1820.in Glasgow
Children given on IGI are
Mary  b 1823
Andrew b 1826
James b 1828
george b 1831
But I also found a William Wallace b to George Wallace & Agnes Thomson  26th Sept 1821 in Anstruther Easter.
I have not been able to find them on a Census to be sure of where they were.

I have the Marriage for James to Margaret Hutton Jun 1859 in Kennoway.
one child George Wallace b 12th Nov 1859 in Kennoway
.d1871
Margaret Hutton D  22nd Sept 1864 in Kennoway.

James Remarried 1867 to Margaret Cumming in Largo.
children.
Jean b 1867
Elizabeth b 1869 d 1899
James b 1870 d 1871
Agnes b 1872
Alexander b 1874 d 1874
Margaret b 1875 d 1875
William b 1878

Jean had a daughter Maggie Cumming Wallace Oct 1890
Jean m george Angus Dec 1903

Agnus m Andrew Mercer 1891

William as far as I know did not marry, but can not confirm.

James Wallace died July 1917
Margaret Cumming d July 1895
I have the death certs for all these.

The Wallace family seems to be a real mystery I have not been able to go back any further and would dearly love to sort it out.
Will keep you in mind
Regards
Margaret.
