Thank you so very much for that info. I am pretty sure Thomas Wallace's father was named Alexander because he shows up as a witness on his son Thomas's wedding license to Jane Wield(I am positive of the name Wield) in Liverpool (both father's were present as witnesses). They did not live in Liverpool though. After 1840 Thomas owned a business in Dumfries on Shakespearre Str. I am less sure of Thomas's bdate.It is very possible that Thomas was actually b. 18 Apr 1806 instead of 12 Oct 1811. There also seems to be a naming pattern going on with the 1st born son named after his paternal grndfthr so there is alternating Alexander & Thomas for at least 4-5 generations. I am thinking I have followed a wrong line. Thank you again SO much. Please if you come across any more info like this I would so appreciate it.
