Thomas Wallis was probably posted there & married a local girl. There may be other children that were born there. They were back in Devon by 1826 but he may have posted somewhere else by 1841.

Thomas Augustus Wallis is listed in Dublin Directories of 1835 , 1843 and 1845 in Pembroke Street, Dublin as Assistant Secretary to the Scripture Readers' Society.  His death in Torquay in 1846 is  reported in the Statesman and Dublin Christian Record of 15 May 1846and the notice refers to his association with the Scripture Readers' Society. It appears that he must have been in Dublin for a number of years. As he was married for over 30 years it seems likely that there would have been other children.

Fascinating to think he died in Torquary after living in Dublin for so long. I now have to trace his parents as I think I can complete that part of the tree for now

Napoleanic Wars 1799-1815 .....1808 - 1815 a lot of British troops and Naval personnel were posted in Dublin for training purposes and also Irish men and women enlisted to Wellingtons troops . So no big surprise to see English men and women marrying in Dublin - there were Thousands there at the time .

I have come across a George Frederick Winstanley , a Dublin barrister , who appears in The Post Office Directory of 1843 , residing at Philipsburgh Strand.  I have also found in Landed Estates Court Rentals particulars of property , including a house in Philipsburgh,  which mention  George Frederick Winstanley Wallis , Mary Lititia McGhee and Charles Sommerville M'Alester. I googled George Frederick Winstanley and among the results found this page:

" Charles M'Alester married 1828 Mary Barbazon ,only child of Edward Lyon Lieut RN by Anna Catherine, eldest daughter and co heiress of George Frederick Winstanley of Philipsburgh , Co Dublin."
I think it is likely that Anna Catherine, Mary Andrews and Eleanor Margaret Winstanley  are sisters and daughters of George Frederick Winstanley but more research would be needed to confirm.

Edit : Maybe someone on the Ireland board who knows more about Irish records than I do could help . You could ask to have your topic moved if wish.

Edit : George Frederick Winstanley ,aged 61, of Dublin died 10 Mar 1850 , see irishgenealogy.ie  , and I think it must be he in the 1843 directory. An earlier George Frederick Winstanley is listed in the Will Index with a date of 1801.
