Hi,
I am hoping somebody may be able to help with some info lookup. I am trying to find some information on Frank N Wallace born aprx 1880 (London area) and died aprx 1916 so I assuming WW1 but can find no war graves records. Frank had siblings of Claud Edgar (my grandfather) , Henry F (aprx 1872), Mary(aprx 1873), Willie aprx 1875) and Lillian M (aprx 1884).
The parents were Thomas W Wallace & Emma.
I have found census info but know nothing with regards to the rest of his life although there is a family recollection he may have married a Florence Scott. If anybody has the time or resources to find anything I would be very grateful for anything at all.
Regards
Eugenie

Wow, so the Florence Scott thing was a total red herring!
All the info adds up and I did think his middle name was North but didn't want to mislead as I wasn't sure, so thanks for confirming that.
You have opened up a whole new branch, now to find out if there were any children from either marriage & war records.
Thanks so much for all your help and so fast!

Andrew, Alviegal & Potty thank you all so much for all the information. I was so wrong about his death in 1916 AND his wife, let alone THREE of them!
So weird, all the areas, North London, Hoxton,Essex...all so close to home.

Can I ask what sites you use and recommend for your info, just that there are so many and it works out so expensive to subscribe to all.

Andrew

Andrew Report 3 Nov 2014 21:11

For births marriages and deaths 1837-c1960 you can use

www.freebmd.org.uk

which is completely free.

For the all the others, I use

www.ancestry.co.uk

which is a subscription site, as is

www.findmypast.co.uk

Both of these sites offer a 14 day free trial if you want to try them yourself.

If you need Scottish records then

www.scotlandspeople.co.uk

for which you have to buy credits to see the records.

For parish records pre 1837 you can try

www.familysearch.org

which is also free to use.

You can always ask on here. People only to willing to do lookups for you.
