I didn't live far from you at all then! I lived on the estate at the back of a "cut" by the famous pie factory in Tipton! Got a good mate who lives Daisy Bank.

I have built my family tree on a free package (which was much better than some expensive alternatives I tried) called "My Heritage" Might be too late for you now but it is possible to link trees so we could share all our data.

It IS very X Files! I know Bilston quite well and Tipton very well, I lived in Tipton for 4 years as my first home with my wife ( I actually worked in Tipton for 6 years)
When I was doing the research on John Arthur Wallage and crossed path with Eliza Glover I found it really strange to think she was (correct me if I am wrong) from Toll End?? Which was very close to where we lived.

Hi Jane,

What brought them to Chesterfield I don't know in all honesty - guessing it is because Grassmoor was a major player in coal mining - potential vocational calling perhaps?
What I can tell you is that after Chesterfield (my line of the Wallage's moved to the Dudley area of West Midlands).
My great Grandfather was John Arthur Wallage (on pre 1901 records listed purely as Arthur) who died in Chesterfield Jan 1963 just short of 80 Years old. He was married twice, it is from his second Marriage to an Emma Shaw (nee Smales) that (for want of a better phrase) I am eventually created. His youngest son Alfred was my Grandfather and he relocated to Dudley after WW2.

The George Wallage (born circa 1846) moved to Chesterfield with his family and noteably a son called George (who stayed at Chesterfield marrying an Eliza Glover and they were both the witnesses at my Great Grandfathers wedding)  (John "Arthur" listed as a boarder I believe on the 1891 census). However George (circa 1846) appears to have moved back to Suffolk to live out his final years?

I have created as much of the family history as I can and would be more than willing to share with you what I have found.
PS: When I started this research over 4 years ago now I thought having an unusual surname would work to my benefit but here I am stuck in the 1840's - although until today I had not encountered the surname Honeyball - so Thanks!!

Hi,

Was really happy to see this post. I too am researching the same George Wallage, and had got stuck on his wife (Elizabeth's surname)
The George Wallage in question is my Great Great Great Grandfather
Only thing that confuses me is how he can be buried in Polingsford in 1846 when I too believed that his son George was 2 when he died and I believe George junior was born 1846?

Thanks
Clint
