Wallace in Gagetown, NB
« on: Monday 27 May 24 17:34 BST (UK) »
This family lived in New Brunswick from around the 1820's through the early 20th century. I cannot find death records for the parents and I can't find any census returns before 1871. They seem to be in Gagetown from at least 1871 onward. Would love any ideas on census documents predating the 1871 census.

James Wallace c.1798 - 1875
Jane Stewart c.1801 - 1886
Children:
Francis Wallace c.1820 - 1894 Gagetown
William Wallace c.1824 - 1891 moved to Massachusetts
Thomas Wallace c.1828 - ? Gagetown
James Stewart Wallace c. 1838 - 1892 moved to Massachusetts
Martha Charlotte Wallace c.1841 - 1916 Gagetown
Margaret Rebecca Wallace Gray c.1843 - 1907 moved to Massachusetts; father's name given as William on marriage and death records but matching mother's name, uncertain
(unsourced) Mary Elizabeth Wallace dates unknown

Unfortunately, if they were living in Gagetown for the 1851 and 1861 censuses, the records for there have not survived. Scroll down to Queens for Gagetown…..

I have not been able to find them elsewhere for the 2 censuses.

This would make the most sense, I didn't realize the Queens county records were missing. Thanks!
