Hello, I am researching my maternal grandfather's roots. His mother's mother was from Scotland. Her parents apparently were of Scottish ancestry, as she used to talk about being related (somehow--this is family history passed down from a number of relatives) to the line of Sir William Wallace. I've found on ancestry.com, her father was Robert Wallace, born about 1803 - 1806 in County "Meraylar," Ireland. Her mother was Ann Hill, born about 1809-1813 in County "Monaghar" Ireland. I'm assuming this is County Monaghan. I am wondering if Robert also was from County Monaghan. The 1841 and 1851 Scotland census finds them in Angus County at Lochee, where they are both employed in the large textile industry that was located outside of Dundee. From the listing of other people that live at the same address that they did, it appears that a number of people from Ireland came to Lochee for employment in the huge textile industry. Their first child that I know of (as listed in the 1841 census) was David, born in Lochee in 1839. So, they had to have come to Scotland in the 1830s. I have no idea if they were both from Co. Monaghan, if they married in Ireland, or met in Scotland and married there. The Wallace family came to the Canada approximately 1855-56, as family history passed down states that they came when my grandpa's grandmother (Margaret Wallace) was 9 years of age. Apparently they lived in Montreal first then moved to the London/Bothwell/Hamilton area of Ontario. I have yet to find them for sure in Ontario (there are a number of Wallaces). I am not sure of their religion. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you! Judy in Michigan Judith L.
