Hi Liz. This online Canadian Biography source does state that his parents were Thomas Whiteway and Elizabeth Vallance. but I did not see a source quoted for that information. http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/whiteway_william_vallance_13E.html Regards Ed -----Original Message----- From: Liz Davidson Sent: Monday, February 03, 2014 3:56 PM To: devon@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DEV] Hugh David Vallance Johns I don't know that it will shed any light but I have 2 members of a WHITEWAY family with Vallance/Valance as a middle name - Christopher Vallance Whiteway bap 1819 and William Valance Whiteway bap 1828 in Littlehempston, among the children of Thomas and Elizabeth Whiteway. William eventually became prime minister of Newfoundland. I've assumed that Vallance was their mother's maiden name though I haven't found that marriage yet.

Thanks Ed. Yes there's plenty of material available for William Vallance WHITEWAY because of his illustrious career. I have just checked the DFHS marriage printout and found the marriage of Thomas WHITEWAY and Elizabeth VALLANCE in Wolborough in 1812 and it says there are notes so I'll need to check the parish registers when I can get to the DRO to see if there's anything helpful there. I wonder if Elizabeth had a sister who also used their maiden name for some of her children and that Hugh was one of them.
