Matthias Stanley WALLIS

Wonder what George was doing there? Fascinating

George H WALLIS was still with his mother, Alice,  in Cornwall in 1881, but not with her in 1891 - looks like the death found by Annie is for the right person.

Brill stuff!

Hi Myansome,
The name of one of the brothers you have given is incorrect. EDIT A closer reading shows you did not print an incorrect name, the William & Francis are seperate people.
 His proper name was WILLIAM RUFUS WALLIS   not William Francis Wallis.
He too came to Australia and it is HE who married the woman named GRACE (so often a basis of fact in a family tale)
GRACE GRENFELL

They had a family in Queensland between 1882 and 1895.
there was indeed a daughter named GRACE


One of the sons named LOUIS MATHIAS WALLIS enlisted for ww1 and you can read his record digitised.

It tells a lot about the family including addresses and that his mother was widowed in 1918.


Here is WILLIAM's death in NSW

Hi Again,
Looking for a marriage for GRACE and WILLIAM without success, it seems they married before their arrival into Queensland.

Here are the Immigration details.

WALLIS, GRACE. Age 21  29/1/1882 Per SCOTTISH WIZARD.  IMM/116 626 Z1959 M1698

WALLIS WILLIAM Age 21. Details as above.

WALLIS, CASSY DIANA, infant. Details as above.

ADDING. Wonder if baby CASSY was born on the ship as we have her birth registered in QLD.

Thanks, Sue, so very much. That is a tremendous piece of research and I am really grateful.
I'll now follow this through.
Cheers,

Hi John.
Glad it was a help.

Here I have noted the Funeral Notices, 3 of them, placed in the Sydney Morning Herald on 3/8/1918 relating to WILLIAM RUFUS WALLIS

1. Mrs GRACE WALLIS of 48 Westbourne St. Petersham invites......friends... her dear husband

2.Friends of...Mrs T ALLEN ( this is dau. CASSY DIANA), Mrs H. KNIGHT ( this is  dau.ELLEN) Mrs J. CUDDIHY ( this is dau. LAURA) Mr LOU. WALLIS (this is son LOUIS) and Mr BERT WALLIS (ALBERT perhaps) invite them ..... our dear father.

{The marriages for these people can be found on the Qld and NSW indexes, the links for which you have.}

3. Friends of Mr JOHN WALLIS and MR and MRS C EDWARDS   invite them  ......their dear BROTHER.

So it seems there was another WALLIS sibling in Australia (female)

As has been posted,GEORGE HENRY WALLIS  died in 1918 too.

There was a  Legal Notice in the Sydney Morning Herald of 8th August 1918.  It tells us he was a ganger of Petersham.

Interestingly the Sands Directory of 1895 shows GEORGE WALLIS at 20 Windsor Rd. Petersham
and
JOHN WALLIS at 18 Windsor Rd Petersham.

Perhaps it is them
