1908  is the date I remember just by word of mouth from a question I asked as a child. It was not based on a document. Since you have the primary source then it must be correct. Thank You so much for sharing this information. Maud had, as i said, 6 children and most have passed away. I will contact my aunt and cousins and get their dates of birth and that branch of the family tree. Maud's daughter Rhoda passed away last year in south carolina. She was a GI bride in the war. She told me she altered her birth certificate to make herself a year older ( 16 instead of 15) so that she would qualify to sail over to the states as a "wife"!  Again this is word of mouth. There is also a story I remember That Granny Maud told me of a boy in her family running away at the age of 12. He had argued with his Dad over reading a book in lamplight way after bedtime! Apparently he stowed away on a ship and arrived in the USA. The tale goes that he became a pilot in the Flying Tigers. I don't know if he was from the Graham or Wallace side.
 If I find any family documents , old historically relevant letters or certificates and photos such as one I used to have of Maud as a teenager, I will post them. My cousins here in the states should have copies. Thank You.

My mother was Maud`s daughter called Gretta, short for Evelyn Margaretta Wallace. So your grandmother Ivy was my great aunt. I remember meeting her as a child. My mom was born in kilkeel then moved as a child to Bangor. Her brother JIm has a twin sister who lives in Charleston south Carolina. 2 other sisters Joan and Rhoda are deceased having moved also to the USA.    The other brother Graham Wallace lived all his life in Kenya and Zambia.
My mom married my dad David McMillan and I was born in 1964. My mom had been the widow of a john Ferguson before she met my dad in her late thirties They moved to England. MY DAD was from Glasgow. His mom and sister moved to Vancouver CA where I still have a cousin.
I remember mom mentioning the Logan's and mcnenemy family and I remember a visit by someone called MAC
Unfortunately I lost some of my family photos when I lived in In JORDAN.
I will ask my cousin Cathie   about the bible etc
Great to find you cousin!
I have never been in a chat room before and apologise for not knowing the etiquette and rules

Agnes Maud is my granny.   She had 6 children including my mom evelyn Margareta 1925-86. I recognise the names and stories   I think my uncle James Edward wallace/Jim may have the family bible.  There was a letter written from the duke of montrose to My grandmother grandfather but I do not have a copy. Jim is old and childless, all the other siblings still alive are in Charleston s.c. and Zambia.   My cousins contact Jim but he has been estranged from my side of family unfortunately.I live in L.A. California.  I have twins.  Maud had twins.  It's genetic.   I also know mom was raised Bretheren. Maud  mom had a vision of Jesus or an angel when she was paralysed dying in bed  She prayed not to die so she could look after all her kids. She was so scared she took to running downstairs and she was cured    by grandpa was one of the few people who knew how to read and write in kilkeel and helped the community by reading and writing their letters.  I Would love some old family photos.   Fiona
