Matthias Stanley WALLIS

[krisesjoint]

Matthias does appear with the family in St Buryan until 1871 as WALLISH/WALLIS. Then Alice is alone with the younger children in 1881 Widowed - WALLIS. Matthias buried 16 Mar 1878 aged 54. There were two sons named Matthias one born soon after marriage who died young buried 26 Dec 1851 aged 3 and a second one born in 1853 or 4. (baptised 24 Dec 1854.) Looks like birth Jun 1/4 1853 5c 374

Adding to what Merlin has tried just letting you know I also can find no record of this person being in Broken Hill either. There is no marriage or death or burial listed for him. . I checked SA also in case this alleged death in 1940 happened over the border and nothing there either. He does not appear in any NSW Electoral Rolls

Hi
This reference to MATTHIAS WALLIS in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper of Feb 1939 may refer to your man.

It is a LEGAL NOTICE and says he was known as JOHN WALLIS and has died in SYDNEY

It refers to anyone having claims to his assets etc.

MMM Good find this looks interesting Sue. Its not Broken Hill but it is Matthias about the right time.

John WALLIS is at 56 Albian St in the 1933 Electoral Roll - Retired. No other Wallis' present.

No luck so far with other entries although  in 1930 I do find a John WALKER at the address - a Miner. No other Walkers listed at the premises. 

He is there in 1933, 1936 and 37 also

aha 1937 we have John WALLACE No Occ also at the address

Thanks Guys. Incredible stuff! The family farm in St Buryan had been sold by their father as mortgages were on it. Their father Matthias was the Innkeeper at the Kings Arms, St Buryan. Their grandfather John was a farmer and had inherited Trevorgans Farm late in life.  His brother George also emigrates to Australia and I'm told goes to Broken Hill to the Gold mines. Albert emigrates to South Africa, John Pearce (my great grandfather) joins the Royal Navy and Coaostguard; William, Frances, Elizabeth, JessieEvelina, Ellen and Aldrdge, unknown as yet. So George is also somewhere out there with you. George was born in 24 Oct 1858 in St Buryan.
