Matthias Stanley WALLIS

[Myansome]

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  

It's a joy really!
The one that has been found is the namesake of the one we are searching for  . The one we are searching for would have been possibly born in the 1850's. He had William, George, John Pearce (my great grandfather), Albert and Aldridge as brothers and Mar, Fances, Jessie and Evelyna as sisters. The liklihood is that they would have been born in St Buryan, West Cornwall as their father owned the King's Arms there.
Cheers,
John

Hi

I think you have confused the issue because your initial thread said he was born in 1886.  (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.)

So the one we are looking for was born in the 1850's?

Yes, sorry........................ too many Matthias's and even more John's!
We can rule out the USA Matthias. But the additional info was great!
We are looking for his Uncle presumably born in the 1850's who emigrated to we think Broken Hill, New South Wales.
Sorry, Guys

I have found a Mathias Wallis born St Buryan Cornwall, 1854, on the 1871 census.  So looking at his siblings etc I think he is the man we are after.   Can't see him immediately after 1871 so he could have gone after that.

So, you have no idea if he did emigrate or die in 1940 at Broken Hill, NSW?

Your original post:

Matthias Stanley Wallis b 1886, d1940, miner in Broken Hill, New South Wales

I am just checking, because I had already searched for him & couldn't find a death or burial near that date.

Your original post:
Yes, we know from family that he did emigrate to Broken Hill. We also are fairly certain that he remained in Australia, possibly married a person called Grace. and certainly had one daughter, again called Grace. He had another brother who emigrated to South Africa.

His parents names please?

No death for a Matthias Wallis on the NSW BDM up to 1979.

A couple of Matthew's, but I don't think they are him...

WALLIS  MATTHEW E J  d. 1911 DUBBO - Parents: WILLIAM H & BRIDGET A M #1302

WALLIS  MATTHEW  age 64yrs d. 1933 NORTH SYDNEY - Parents: UNKNOWN #18988

Cannot find a marriage of a Matthias Wallis or a birth with a father listed as Matthias Wallis.

I have looked though all my cd's but you can check online here:

Also nothing at Broken Hill Cemetery for him.
