Lanarkshire / Re: Andrew Wallace b. 1824 Lanarkshire
« on: Friday 16 August 13 23:07 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both for your insights.

Wish I did have more info, but spent a lot of time at the local Archives, even with help of one of the Archivist we could only come up with these bare bones.  The Church the family was members was torn down and the records have been lost, death records not completely filled in etc, only found the Banns by luck it had been filed in the wrong county.  The Huttons on the other hand found many documents: church and property records, a will and a Coroner Inquest into one of the son's death.

iv. Crawford Wallace (alias "Crofford") was born About 1860 in Halifax, Halifax Co., NS and died Before 1891.

Hi Monica;

Have information on him here in Nova Scotia after he got married in 1852 to Susan Hutton, he worked as a gardner in Halifax until his death in 1869, they had 7 children.  Unfortunately the only information we have on him from Scotland is the obit.  which shows he probably had relatives living in 1869 in Glasgow and New York at that time.  No idea why, how or when in arrived in Nova Scotia, his marriage Banns were co-signed by a former Drum Major of the 37th Regiment of the Foot (John Mccartney) here in Halifax which may or may not reflect a military connection.
