Wallis/Wallace County Tyrone

Thank you for that, it's worth considering.

Do you not mean Thomas Wallis married Mary Malcolm in 1831?

Note: the Thomas Wallis who died 1831 had a son Hugh Malcolm Wallis.

[julia.n]

Oops, getting my centuries mixed up sorry. Yes I meant that the Thomas Wallis I'm searching for might have married a Mary Malcolm in 1831 in Randalstown. The Thomas Wallis on the 1901 census in Molesworth Street (possibly a son) was married to (I believe) Margaret Glenn and they did have a son called Hugh Malcolm WALLIS.

Coincidentally, at the marriage of William Nixon/Mary Wallis one of the witnesses was Hugh Wallis so possibly another brother?

I don't want to try to make things fit that don't, if you know what I mean. Hopefully there will be someone out there who knows the families I'm referring to !

Thanks again.

Years of practice  May have more information on Wallis family in my files which I will look for later.

The Thomas Wallis who was stationmaster at Cookstown was my maternal great grandfather (died 1906) and the Thomas Wallis who was stationmaster at Randalstown (born in 1809, died 1876) was, indeed, his father.

The Margaret Glenn in Kansas Avenue in the 1911 census was the widow of Thomas Wallis of Cookstown, and the Mary "Glannel" Lillie was actually the Mary Glenn, daughter of Margaret and Thomas, who was my grandmother.

The William "Garde" Wallis in the 1901 census was probably a transcription error for William Scott Wallis, who was by 2 years Hugh Malcolm's elder brother. Neither of them are recorded in Cookstown that night, and I believe that they were away at boarding school.  That Hugh Malcolm, father of the Hugh Malcolm with the 2011 obit in Toronto, moved to Canada and died in 1957 by family records.

For Julia.n: William Nixon attended the 1906 funeral of the Cookstown Thomas Wallis and was listed as his son in law.

For agahadowey:  Margaret Lockyer died in Belfast in 1976. Isabella Catherine married Robert Henry Gilliland and died in 1948.  I knew their daughter Patricia, who married David Hodges.  She died of Alzheimer's, maybe 10 years ago.

Sorry, misread--William Nixon was the brother in law of Thomas Wallis, not son in law.
