Lanarkshire / Re: Wallace's in East Kilbride, looking for information
« on: Friday 20 March 15 17:43 GMT (UK) »
Robertosoy,
I have Hugh Wallace, son of James Wallace and Margaret Thomson, (marriage proclaimed 10 Nov., 1793) born 25 Feb. 1774 in Busby, Scotland.
Hugh travelled to Dalhousie, Lanark County, Ontario,Canada in 1819 with his son Robert on the sailing ship "Prompt".
While working in a stone quarry there Hugh sustained an injury that required the amputation of one leg. He subsequently returned to Scotland where he died. I am descended from Robert's line.
Hugh's other children James-1794-1866, Margaret 1796-?, Hugh 1800-1873, William 1802-?, Andrew 1804-1885, George 1806-? all remained in Scotland. James, Hugh and Andrew were involved in the weaving industry and died in Paisley, Scotland.
I have Robert's line to 2015.
Hope this helps with the mystery of whatever happened to the family
Regards
