My sister used to say that her husband's family came from "up North probably near Birmingham"! Well, I've now found that they did come from "up North"...but from Sheffield!! Herbert E. WALLIS was born in Sheffield - 1st Quarter 1918 Son of Herbert E. WALLIS and Maggie DOWSON (sometimes DAWSON) - They married 1st Quarter 1915 in Sheffield. Herbert E WALLIS the elder I have not decided which one he is...there are one or two on the 1901 census that could be the right one...ugh! His wife was Maggie DOWSON/DAWSON and I believe her father is John Robert Rhodes DAWSON/DOWSON, however on the IGI I see a marriage to Emily WARD on 22nd September 1871...I am hoping that this lady died...does anyone have any knowledge of a burial? Hopefully he then married Margaret Fisher SHIELS from Edinburgh in the 3rd quarter 1879 and they had Jessie (Aug 1880), William (Abt 1882) and Maggie (1st quarter 1887). Margaret died 4th quarter 1894. JRR DOWSONs parents are Henry DOWSON 1828 and Martha ROBERTS who married on 19 Sep 1847 in Sheffield. Does anyone have this family in their tree and can anyone help with burials from the burial index please. Cheers LIZ www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery
