Hello, I'm trying to find details of the marriage (date, place, children) of a John Wallace to my great aunt Mary Hall, of Bugle Ranges, South Australia, who was born in 1844. I believe it was J W Wallace, quoted in The Advertiser in 1939 as a racing clubs' starter and descendant of John and Mary Hall who arrived from the UK in the Ariadne in 1839. Any info, or advice on where to look further, greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adelaide

John and Mary Hall
Bride's Father: Thomas HALL
The marriage reg has Mary's father as Thomas.
Something not right here as you state that J W is a descendant of John and Mary HALL who arrived on the ARIADNE. Perhaps I haven't read it correctly and I frequently misinterpret info :-[
Off to prepare lunch :)

Adelaide I'm having problems with my SA discs at the moment so if no-one takes this up I will have to get back to this later.
I note that nowhere is John WALLACE referred to John W WALLACE.

Oh, Cando, terribly sorry. The reference in The Advertiser is W J Wallace, not J W, my mistake, a seniors typing moment!

I'd say this is the Wallace from the list you compiled.

Yes quite possibly. I have a couple of electoral rolls for SA although not all electorates are included...will have a search to see what I can find.
