Noted with interest your reply to John which referenced a number of Cooks and Wallaces. My Greatgrandfather Alexander Wallace b. 4 Oct 1867 at Leith, Midlothian, Scotland was the illegimate son of Andrew Leslie Wallace b. 21 Aug 1846 and Christina Cochrane Cook b. 23 Apr 1850. I would appreciate hearing from John if he finds any connection to his Cook family. Christine's parents were Alexander Cook and Anne Gilray.
