I am interested in the Wallace family from Brancepeth. Any info appreciated :)

I have one family stone containing details of:  George WALLACE who died on (or around 8 May 1847.  Stone eroded over detail.  Also included on the same stone, Jane Wallace wife of George, who died 24 Aug 1820, also Thomas Wallace who died 2 Dec 1841? aged 28 years, Elizabeth Wallace who died 11 Nov 1841 aged 15, Alice Wallace (wife of George Wallace of Scripton) who died 3 Mar 1851, Hannah Wallace who died 5 May 1879 aged 88 (shown as originating Primrose Side).  Finally, Ann Wallace, details eroded.  The family were from Unthank, Scripton and Primrose Side.

Not sure if it is the right Wallace or not, but they are interred at St Brandon's Church, Brancepeth.

Thanks Adam, we clearly have at least one of the same stones, I have modified my date of death for George to 1847, because having checked it again, you are correct.  Thomas Wallace however was 28 at time of death.
