Matthias Stanley WALLIS

[Myansome]

I am trying to trace family info on Matthias Stanley Wallis b 1886, d1940, miner in Broken Hill, New South Wales. He emigrated from Penzance, Cornwall, I believe.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
John

Hi Myansome,

What information would you like?

[tressle]

There is a Matthias S Wallis, proposed address in England (don't know where I got born from) Longrock? Penzance Cornwall, he is aged 35, on an incoming passenger list in 1922, ship Homeric, also a Mabel aged 33 a Housewife.  I think it says he is a Butcher but I am not sure.  Previous residence USA.

ADDING - it does say intended place of future residence is England

I have found the same couple going back to USA in 1929 so probably not your man if he died in NSW, his is a Butler not a Butcher.   

Last address was Penzance Cornwall. Going to New York on the BERENGARIA.

This is another, my Dad's Uncle Stan who  previously emigrated to New York. So this is very helpful addition in his case. He could have been visiting the Matthias, his uncle that I'm searching for.

Can you tell me where you got 1940 as his death from?

Also do you have his parents names, was he married & any idea when he might have emigrated?

Sorry for all the questions but anything you have is a help

There is a WW1 USA draft registration for a Stanley Mathias Wallace (sic), born February 22nd 1886 in England. This is probably the same man as he is a Butler.  Mother is Mrs Jane Wallace.

So can we rule this chap in the USA out.

Sorry only just seen your post above - sorry to be so thick but just to clarify there were two Matthias Stanley Wallis's born in 1886 in Cornwall - one was the uncle of the other.
